Gabriel García Márquez's 'Of Love and Other Demons' plunges readers into the vivid, unsettling world of 18th-century colonial Cartagena. When the twelve-year-old noble daughter, Sierva María, is bitten by a rabid dog, she is mistakenly believed to be possessed by demons. Her frightened family commits her to a convent for exorcism. There, the young priest Father Cayetano Delaura is assigned to cast out her supposed evil spirits. However, he finds himself irresistibly drawn to her, developing a forbidden and tragic love affair. This haunting narrative masterfully intertwines themes of intense passion, religious superstition, colonial decay, and the complexities of human faith and delusion, presenting a profound meditation on the boundaries between love, madness, and liberation.
