Leaf Storm (Gabriel García Marquez)

Leaf Storm is probably the least popular of all García Marquez’s novels. A man hangs himself and nobody in the village wants him to be buried as punishment for something he didn’t do in the past. The story is narrated by three characters and is constructed with the memories and fears of each one of them. They are a Colonel, his only daughter and his only grandson. Three points of view of the same event, of the same people and of the same place. Despite the bad criticism, it is worth reading the origins of Macondo and watch it grow into the Macondo of One Hundred Years of Solitude.
