By Rodrigo García

What We Say: The son of Gabriel García Márquez remembers his father and mother in a tender and moving memoir. It offers an unprecedented insight into the family life of a literary giant while also asking poignant questions about love and loss.

What They Say: “García’s limpid prose gazes calmly at death, registering pain but not being overcome by it . . . the result is a moving eulogy that will captivate fans of the literary lion” — Publishers Weekly
