Garcia Marquez's recent death inspired me to go back and read what I had long remembered as my favorite of his novels. It is just as delightful upon rereading - a novella that begins the morning of Santiago Nasar’s titular "Death", and then backs up and recounts the chain of events that has led up to it, inevitably. Rich and imaginative Marquez narrative at its finest.

A wounded soldier dealing with PTSD, the 5th grade son of an immigrant family struggling to get by and a broken-hearted mother are connected to each other only after an unthinkable incident. Set in "real" Las Vegas (not the Vegas of casinos and nightlife), McBride’s skillful narrative turns a tragic story into a hopeful and uplifting one. This penetrating psychological portrayal will linger with you long after you finish reading.
