Our appointment is in August

Author's name: Gabriel Garcia Marquez

Our Date in August by Gabriel García Márquez... an unexpected gift from one of the greatest writers the world has ever known

The novel revolves around a woman named Ana, who travels to a Caribbean island every August to visit her mother's grave. During these bleak journeys, briefly freed from her husband and family, she finds a new lover each time. The novel adds an unexpected conclusion to the life and work of the literary giant García Márquez, and is likely to raise questions about how literary institutions and publishers should handle such a posthumous publication that contradicts the author's directives. Many articles have been written in both Arab and foreign press about "Our Rendezvous in August," the novel Gabriel García Márquez wrote but never finished. In 2014, he died, his old adversary lurking on every page of love and beauty he penned. Most articles that have discussed the novel indicate that it was written in five chapters, which together form a complete narrative structure, the general theme of which is love, but each chapter also constitutes an independent short story in itself.
