Crónica de una muerte anunciada
By Carla Gimeno

This book was written by Gabriel García Marquez in 1981. This is one of the most important books which he has written.

This book has a bit strange tittle because you know how it will end at the beginning, but it has had lot of success for its originality.
The book starts with the murderer of a boy in a village. It's strange because all the village knows that the boy will be murdered, but he doesn't.

While you read the book you can guess why and where the boy will be murdered. The twins will murder him because their sister, who will get married, is not a virgin and she tells them that this boy is the boy she lost the virginity with. The two brothers become mad and they take a knife to kill him. They say it in all the places of the little village and announce it to the villagers.
When they arrive at his home, they kill him in a brutal way.

The book is very original because you know the end, but you don't know why the two brothers want to murder the boy, and through the book you can discover secrets of the twins and the families.
