10. Love In The Time Of Cholera by Gabriel GarcÃa Márquez

What a story! I have been outraged, in tears and have laughed at parts of this book. I have travelled all over the world with these nurses from France, Belgium, India, Africa, Singapore, Burma, Hong Kong, Malta, to places that have changed their name several times since then.
These nurses lived through shipwrecks and being shot at in the water by Japanese soldiers and airman, starved, tortured and raped in POW camps in jungles, under siege in Malta for 3 yrs, lived in deserts in Egypt and Africa with hardly any water to drink never mind about washing.
A must-read tale of courage in dreadfull conditions and circumstances.
