The extraordinary rediscovered novel from Nobel Prize–winning author Gabriel García Márquez, renowned for Love in the Time of Cholera and One Hundred Years of Solitude.

Sitting alone by the tranquil blue waters of a Caribbean lagoon, Ana Magdalena Bach watches the men at the hotel bar. Happily married for twenty-seven years, with a life full of family and routine, Ana has no reason to escape. And yet, every August, she returns to this island where her mother is buried to take a new lover for just one night.

Amid sultry evenings filled with salsa and boleros, surrounded by lotharios and conmen, Ana ventures deeper each year into the hidden recesses of her desires and fears. What begins as an annual ritual soon becomes a profound journey into the heart of longing and self-discovery.

Until August is a joyously sensual and constantly surprising exploration of freedom, regret, and the mysteries of love an unexpected gift from one of the greatest literary voices of our time.
