 To the reader, Love in the Time of Cholera has the fascination of a love triangle. However, to Fermina, the unexplored jewel to the eye of two suitors, Florentino and Juvenal, her life lacks love. She commits to one man for the guarantee of status; the other interest she dismisses as romantic folly.
Times passes and in the care of the author, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Fermina's life changes. The book is a substantial classic for many reasons, the clever adaptation of love in the midst of Caribbean crises, the comical nature of the love triangle, the strength and longevity of a loveless marriage and finally, the unanticipated ending.
