Gabo's Bookshelf: 'Chronicle of a Death Foretold'
Chronicle of a Death Foretold (1983)
By Gabriel García Márquez

A mysterious and haunting tale of romance and murder that involves the loss of innocence in a small town filled with gossip. The main character, who is well-liked by the community, is accused of taking a woman's virtue who he barely knew. Short and to the point, the book leaves us with a strange sense of inevitability and passions gone terribly awry.
