Set on the Caribbean coast of South America, this love story brings together Fermina Daza, her distinguished husband, and a man who has secretly loved her for more than fifty years.

"Sitting alone beside the languorous blue waters of the lagoon, Ana Magdalena Bach contemplates the men at the hotel bar. She has been happily married for twenty-seven years and has no reason to escape the life she has made with her husband and children. And yet, every August, she travels by ferry here to the island where her mother is buried, and for one night takes a new lover. Across sultry Caribbean evenings full of salsa and boleros, lotharios...

De j├│venes, Florentino Ariza y Fermina Daza se enamoran apasionadamente, pero Fermina eventualmente decide casarse con un m├®dico rico y de muy buena familia. Florentino est├í anonadado, pero es un rom├íntico. Su carrera en los negocios florece, y aunque sostiene 622 peque├▒os romances, su coraz├│n todav├¡a pertenece a Fermina. Cuando al fin el esposo de ella muere, Florentino acude al funeral con toda intenci├│n.
