Chronicle of a Death Foretold by Gabriel García Márquez is a compelling tale of fate and collective guilt. Set in a small Colombian town, it recounts the murder of Santiago Nasar, a killing everyone knew would happen but no one stopped. Through fragmented narratives and multiple perspectives, the novel explores themes of honour, tradition and the blurred line between truth and rumour. Márquez masterfully critiques societal complicity and fatalism in a haunting, journalistic style.
