Gabriel García Márquez's "Love in the Time of Cholera", masterfully translated by Edith Grossman, is a captivating exploration of desire and love's enduring strength. This Penguin Modern Classic weaves a tale of passion, patience, and the myriad forms of love.

At the heart of this narrative is Florentino Ariza, a man consumed by his love for the enchanting Fermina Daza. Despite his ardour, Fermina chooses to wed the esteemed Dr Juvenal Urbino, leaving Florentino to nurture his unrequited love in silence. For over half a century, he clings to the memory of his one true love, until fate presents an unexpected opportunity. With the sudden passing of Fermina's husband, Florentino seizes the chance to rekindle the flame that has burned within him for 51 years, 9 months, and 4 days.

García Márquez, the Colombian literary giant and Nobel laureate, crafts a rich tapestry of human emotions in this novel. His impressive oeuvre includes seminal works such as "One Hundred Years of Solitude" and "Chronicle of a Death Foretold".

Critics have lauded "Love in the Time of Cholera" as a sensual delight in prose form and a magnificent celebration of love's multifaceted nature. It stands as a testament to García Márquez's unparalleled ability to suspend reality and present the ageless human story with evocative brilliance.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.

This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.

We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.

Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
