Summary

La inspiración para escribir este libro le llegó a García Márquez con una insólita noticia que tuvo que cubrir como periodista.

El 26 de octubre de 1949 el reportero Gabriel García Márquez fue enviado al antiguo convento de Santa Clara, que iba a ser demolido para edificar sobre él un hotel de cinco estrellas, a presenciar el vaciado de las criptas funerarias y a cubrir la noticia.

Se exhumaron los restos de un virrey del Perú y su amante secreta, un obispo, varias abadesas, un bachiller de artes y una marquesa. Pero la sorpresa saltó al destapar la tercera hornacina del altar mayor: se desparramó una cabellera de color cobre, de veintidós metros y once centímetros de largo, perteneciente a una niña.

En la lápida a penas se leía el hombre: Sierva María de Todos los Ángeles. "Mi abuela me contaba de niño la leyenda de una marquesita de doce años cuya cabellera le arrastraba como una cola de novia, que había muerto del mal de rabia por el mordisco de un perro, y era venerada en los pueblos del Caribe por sus muchos milagros. La idea de que esa tumba pudiera ser la suya fue mi noticia de aquel día, y el origen de este libro."

Gabriel García Márquez A.S. Byatt dijo... "Una proeza brillante y conmovedora."

Narrator kills Márquez

The reading is not only fast. It goes with a speed of light, like a reading contest. OK, Spaniards speak faster than the rest of the human race. But this narration takes away all the joy of listening to a magical, lullaby-like novel full of tiny and important details. Mr. Vesga killed already 'Doce cuentos pelegrinos' and now fastened up. Please, Penguin,

MAKE HIM REDUNDANT!!!!!!!!!!!
