Overview. Love in the Time of Cholera, published in 1985, is a novel by Colombian author Gabriel García Márquez. It tells the story of Florentino Ariza and Fermina Daza, two young lovers separated by circumstance.
- Florentino Ariza. An obsessive, impassioned sex addict, Florentino falls in love with Fermina Daza on sight and waits more than half a century for her husband to die so that he may reaffirm his love for her.
- Fermina Daza. The wife of Dr. Juvenal Urbino and the object of Florentino's affection, Fermina is a sophisticated woman who, having grown up a peasant, takes pride in her haughty manner and unrelenting stubbornness; she cannot ever bear to admit that she is wrong.
- Dr. Juvenal Urbino del Calle. The City of the Viceroy's most educated doctor and most esteemed public figure, Urbino is an old-fashioned man, and still makes house calls to his patients.
- Transito Ariza. Florentino's doting mother, Transito is the one person he ever divulges his secret passion for Fermina to. She takes pains to prepare for Florentino's marriage to Fermina, but soon turns senile, and dies.
The novel depicts the flashback of Florentino Ariza as the sick lover of Fermina Daza, a young, innocently attractive girl. Soon Ariza succeeds in creating a secret link to the girl through her spinster aunt, Escolastica through whom they start writing letters to each other.
In late 19th-century Cartagena, a river port in Colombia, Florentino Ariza falls in love at first sight with Fermina Daza. They secretly correspond, and she eventually agrees to marry him, but her father discovers their relationship and sends her to stay with distant relatives (mainly her grandmother and niece).
