From Booklist
In a South American seaport town, during the colonial era, when the division between the rich and the poor, the church and the state, and the saint and the demon were absolute, and people strutted and fretted about appropriately, 12-year-old Mari{¡}a de Todos los Angeles, daughter of the marquis de Casalduero and his wife, the flatulent Bernarda Cabrera, meets with the misfortune of being bitten by an ash gray dog with a white blaze on its forehead. When it is learned that the dog is rabid, Mari{¡}a's inevitable destruction begins. Through rumor, superstition, and the ghosts of her family's misbegotten past, it is assumed that Mari{¡}a will have rabies. When the problem comes to the attention of the ultimate authority, the bishop, high-born Mari{¡}a must be handed over to the Church for exorcism, for rabies in this time of love and demons means inevitable possession. Her only hope is Father Cayetano Delaura, her exorcist, a 36-year-old priest with a streak of white hair at his forehead, who falls in love with her before meeting her. Gabriel (One Hundred Years of Solitude) Ma{ }rquez's new fantastic novel is farcical, incredible, malicious, and sadistic. Magical unrealism. A timeless artist, an old master, unraveling the mysteries of life, again. Collette de Sac

Marquez gives us a story of miracles and strange love, full of Latin drama and earthy passion. Read the synopsis in the editorial reviews if you want to see the full plot.
As always, Marquez offers a unique and haunting plot with a cast of intriguing characters. He always seems to invent somewhat gothic situations but paint them with the radiant touch of an Impressionist. This book is a fine example of his skillful storytelling. As in most of his works, a bizarre series of events take place in a rotting but fascinating South American coastal province. Here, all events contribute to the tragic demise of the beautiful and cursed Sierva Maria.
In any other writer's hands, the story would be heavy and overwrought. Somehow, Marzquez makes it sparkle and shine like a treasure. If you don't know Marquez, start with the flawless Love in the Time of Cholera or this beautiful, short novel.
Format:Taschenbuch
I have been a fan of Marquez since I picked up One Hundred Years of Solitude. His writing is always interesting! Of Love and Other Demons is no exception. Marquez keeps you in his grips untill the last page. A great novel!
Format:Taschenbuch
This is one of those books that you don't want to put down, I think most people who read it did so in one sitting. I don't really know how to describe it, there isn't some evident charm in the writing, actually it is quite direct. But while you read it you realise that it is captivating and enchanting, the words draw you in like a magic spell and you don't discover how much you like it until when you put it down for good with much sadness.
This is a story of a Columbian girl of noble backround. We learn early on that her parents are actually unworthy of their nobility, for they are emotionless and hateful, married out of obligation instead of love. And instead of seeing their daughter Sievra Maria as a token of love, they see her as the shackle that forces them together. They abandon her to be raised by slaves.On an occasion, Sievra Maria is bitten by a rabid dog, and in a desperate attempt to make up for his neglect, her father sends her off to be healed by a group of nuns. They quickly interpret her odd behavior as a sign of Satanic possesion, when in fact most of it is a result of her upbringing among slaves. Her healer, a librarian turned priest quickly falls in love with her despite the odds, and the book turns into a love story that breaks the heart.
Nice plot, nice writing, very very nice piece of literature.

Poetic and mysterious...So real and simultaneously dreamlike
Marquez tells of a love story in a different way, mingling the love with death, history and darkness. Still, beautifully captures the essence.
