Summary

In Barcelona, an aging Brazilian prostitute trains her dog to weep at the grave she has chosen for herself. In Vienna, a woman parlays her gift for seeing the future into a fortunetelling position with a wealthy family. In Geneva, an ambulance driver and his wife take in the lonely, apparently dying ex-president of a Caribbean country, only to discover that his political ambition is very much intact.

In these 12 masterly stories about the lives of Latin Americans in Europe, García Márquez conveys the peculiar amalgam of melancholy, tenacity, sorrow, and aspiration that is the émigré experience.

Loved these gentle tales.

Loved this book of gentle short tales, some strange, some thought provoking, some humourous, we meet a women who asks to use the phone and gets more than she bargained for, an elderly courtesan finds love, and a pilgrim regrets her decision to leave home. All beautifully read.
