This love story by Peruvian author Mario Vargas Llosa, who received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2010, is sure to be a favorite among language enthusiasts. The main character is a conference interpreter who works in various cities around the world. He begins in Lima, Peru, in his 40s and 50s, then travels to Paris, London, and Tokyo before arriving in Madrid. Vargas Llosa uses this opportunity to depict the various histories of these cities, as well as how they were at the time. He describes hippies and the HIV/AIDS epidemic in London in the 1970s, Madrid in the 1980s, the artistic boom in Paris, and the worst of the Peruvian revolution and guerrilla war.
