A story of love that conquers all—time and space, life's hardships, and even the imperfections of the human soul.
The dark-skinned beauty Fermina rejected the youthful love of her childhood friend, Florentino Ariza, and chose to marry Dr. Juvenal Urbino, a scientist who dreams of ridding the Spanish colonies of their deadly scourge—the plague.
