Márquez Day: A celebration of one of the world's most loved writers available in ebook for the first time

Whilst her demanding grandmother retires to bed, Eréndira has floors to wash, sheets to iron, and a peacock to feed. Exhausted, she collapses into bed, toppling over a glowing candle...

Her grandmother insists Eréndira must repay her for the loss of the house. As she is dragged from town to town and hawked to soldiers and traders, Eréndira feels herself dying. Can the love of a virgin save the young whore from her hell?

Innocent Erendira and Other Stories is re-issued on Gabriel García Márquez 's birthday to celebrate the publication of his books as ebooks for the first time.
