Of Love and Other Demons by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
"He tried to teach her to be a real white, to revive for her his failed dreams of an American -born noble, to supress her fondness for pickled iguana and armadillo strew. He attempted almost everything except asking himself whether this was the way to make her happy."

Garcia Marquez is most famous for One Hundred Years of Solitude and for winning the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1982. He has an amazing flair for writing the fantastic as if it were common and everyday... "magical realism", I think they've named it.
