What a great story. While it may seem simply like a tale of unrequetted or delayed love, it is much more and is more enjoyable everytime I read it. After just a brief encounter, Florentino falls in love with Fermina when they are young, but she is forced to marry another, and Florentino thereafter pines after her until her husband, Dr. Juvenal Urbino dies and he can again declare his love to her. What happens to them between these times and the short story afterwards is what makes this story great. You'll find in the end an understanding of and have a deep feeling for all three characters.Get more detail about Love in the Time of Cholera (Penguin Modern Classics).
