J.S. Bernstein Books

Introducing you to a host of extraordinary characters and communities, this book includes a collection of short stories written by Gabriel Garcia Marquez.

Fridays are different. Every other day of the week, the Colonel and his ailing wife fight a constant battle against poverty and monotony, scraping together the dregs of their savings for the food and medicine that keeps them alive. But on Fridays the postman comes - and that sets a fleeting wave of hope rushing through the Colonel's ageing heart.
