This is the saga of seven generations of the Buendia family, and how their passions drive them to extremes. I love Marquez's work - I love his use of language (translated, even!), and I love that his use of magic realism means that all his characters and stories are larger than life. There are a lot of similar names in this book - my edition had a family tree in front, which helped a lot.
Loved this! Mattie's conflict is so heartbreakingly real and her character so loveable. I also love the setting--it gives some real insight in to life at the time.
