‘Grappig, en in malle details typisch Márquez. De novelle heeft een mooie, heldere structuur. Het einde, de ontknoping, is betekenisvol en intrigerend.’ Trouw

‘Een prettig weerzien met het universum van deze meesterlijke verhalenverteller.’ De Standaard

‘De oude schrijver maakt de tragiek ten volle voelbaar in de gebeeldhouwde zinnen van dit ijzersterke overspelverhaal.’ de Volkskrant/De Morgen

‘Zeer genietbaar. Suggestie is in de handen van deze schrijver nog altijd een geweldig instrument. Zijn typeringen en omschrijvingen zijn nog altijd trefzeker en raak.’ Het Parool

‘Charmante en verrassend gave parabel.’ VPRO Gids

‘Het laatste boek van Gabriel García Márquez, met af een toe een prachtige, typische Marquez-zin, is de moeite van het lezen waard.’ NRC

‘Een kers op de García Márquez-taart. Spetterende passages van een schrijver met grote verbeeldingskracht.’ Suzanne Kemps-Mentrop van Boekhandel Jansen en de Feijter in AD MEZZA

Een wereldwijde literaire sensatie: tien jaar na zijn overlijden verschijnt er een nieuwe, nooit eerder gepubliceerde roman van Nobelprijswinnaar Gabriel García Márquez

In augustus zien we elkaar gaat over Ana Magdalena Bach, een gelukkig getrouwde vrouw van middelbare leeftijd. Ieder jaar op 16 augustus reist zij naar een eiland in het Caribisch gebied, waar haar moeder begraven ligt. Tijdens een van deze reizen begint ze een affaire en die ervaring, de mogelijkheid om voor één avond per jaar een ander mens te zijn, heeft een onweerstaanbare aantrekkingskracht op haar. Vanaf dat moment hoopt ze ieder jaar dat er iets gebeurt op 16 augustus.

Deze niet eerder gepubliceerde roman, die zich in de nalatenschap van García Márquez bevond, is een ode aan de vrijheid van de vrouw: een verhaal over liefde, verlangen en seksualiteit dat twintig jaar nadat hij het schreef nog niets aan zeggingskracht heeft ingeboet. De voor hem zo kenmerkende speelse, poëtische en vindingrijke taal maakt van dit boek een literair pareltje dat ons in staat stelt nog wat langer te verkeren in het literaire universum van een van de meest geliefde moderne auteurs.

In de pers

‘Een feest van originaliteit en pure inventiviteit.’ The New York Times

‘Levendig en speels.’ The Guardian

‘Een prachtig portret van een vastberaden, bijzondere vrouw op een moment dat haar leven zou kunnen veranderen.’ Le Figaro

Slow, sorry but good
Format: Kindle
This was a slow moving book. Lots of character pov chapters, lots of superfluous descriptions and endless courtly appearances stalled this book to start. Once you get into the heart of the story, it takes off. Before you know it the book is done. My favorite character is Reyna. She is so strong. She is true to herself. She gets into a lot of trouble with her headstrong ways but it's entertaining. I have high hopes for Lorcan. He is honorable to a fault. Thane had turned out to be better than I thought but i still don't like him. Eislin is useless. Great plot twists at the end. I'm looking forward too book 2.

Very detailed! Beautiful world building! Strong Heroine!
Format: Kindle
Starts off a little slow and confusing with different POV’s, but starts to all come together towards the middle to make an elaborate plot line and makes it all worth it. Beautiful world building and attention to detail as well as great writing. The cliffhanger was gut wrenching! Can’t wait for the next book!

Interesting
Format: Kindle
This was a very captivating book once you got into it thoroughly. But the third person perspective was a bit hard to get used to. But as you got into it and followed the different characters, it was interesting and filled with intrigue, conflict and forbidden love. I can’t wait to read the next one and to complete the series.

Fallen Angels, fae, vampires, oh my!
Format: Kindle
Rating: 4.5 | Spice: 2 (but a good slow-burn) • Main Characters: Huntyr and Wolf • I couldn’t wait to read this book; there was so much hype about it! And there was no doubt why. I fell in love with the characters and the plot itself. This book is mainly plot driven more than friction driven but it’s easy to follow along with. The characters are fun, easily understood. The main setting is at an academy where both the main characters are going through trials and building strength for the final test, The Transcendent. There are fantastic side characters as well. I loved the camaraderie between Huntyr and her friends. But we don’t like Lanson. 😆 We do have some plot twists that come into play throughout the book. Secrets and betrayal to be seen. I did adore Wolf and Huntyr’s relationship. It was a classic slow burn trope. They didn’t hit it off fast, but in time their feelings grew. I loved their banter, so sexy. Wolf is your next book boyfriend; Huntyr is your next vampire assassin independent bad-a*s female. Themes include loyalty, trust, self-discovery, a true slow burn romance. Side note: book ends on a angsty cliffhanger! • Emily, thank you for writing this awesome novel and I cannot wait to devour Book 2, Blood So Brutal! 😍 • Happy reading, my lovelies! xo

“My heart bows to you and you only, Huntress.”
Format: Kindle
3.5 🌟 This book popped up in my KU recommended reading suggestions and the synopsis sounded like what I was in the mood for. I'm so glad I took a chance on it. I went into this knowing absolutely nothing about it and ended up really liking it. I love when this happens. The main characters are likeable and I easily found myself rooting for them. There is a mystery element to each of their backstories that I enjoyed watching unfold and can't wait to get more of. Wolf, in particular, has me fixated. Love him. I found this to be an entertaining, addictive read with a plot that moves along at a good pace. It reads so easily I found myself very reluctant to put it down. Lots of twists and turns and the angst is there. A good set up for the next book to come, for sure. My issues with this book....the dialogue feels a bit juvenile at times and there is a repetitive over use of a particular word phrasing that I found myself giving the ole eye-roll to. There are, without a doubt, some pretty cliche moments that gave me a bit of the cringe. I think this could've certainly 100% benefited from more depth regarding the world building. Perhaps the world building was sacrificed to keep the pacing quick? Just a guess. Also, the lack of consistency of character for the FMC was really evident and so she feels quite illogical at times. Overall, this was a fun and enjoyable read that hit the spot well enough for me. That ending certainly has me impatiently pining for book 2!
