I Loved This Book's Setting

I go there in my mind from time to time

Gabriel Garcia Marquez created the magical village of Macondo - "a village of twenty adobe houses, built on the bank of a river of clear water that ran along a bed of polished stones, which were white and enormous, like prehistoric eggs." Reading the enthralling saga of the Buendia family seeped into my soul and I wanted to go there. The truth is, a wondrous village like Macondo would never have survived the real world, so I go there in my mind from time to time. I am happy that this place only exists in the world or magical realism.
