Collected Stories brings together many of Gabriel García Márquez’s spellbinding short stories, each brimming with a blend of the surreal, the magical, and the everyday that Nobel-Prize-winner and author of One Hundred Years of Solitude Márquez is known for.

Full of sharp wit and exuberant, larger-than-life characters which vividly capture the restless, madcap era of 1940s New York, “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” will make you fall in love, perhaps for the first time, with a book.

Decades later in north London, sixteen- year-old Ada Kazantzakis has never visited the island where her parents were born. Desperate for answers, she seeks to untangle years of secrets, separation and silence. The only connection she has to the land of her ancestors is a Ficus carica growing in her back garden.
