Alternate history. Hitler dies in the July 20, 1944 bomb plot, Himmler takes power and launches a major offensive along the Rhine with Rommel heading it. Himmler also secures an armistice with the Soviets, which pisses the western allies off enough so that they want to take all of Germany for themselves.

It's a really hard novel to explain, but I promise you that it is good. It was originally written in spanish (Marquez is Colombian) and it revolves around a family and its different generations that lives in a town named Macondo. But it's genre is apparently magical realism. Their lives intertwine with the past, the present, and sometimes the future. In fact, many times the dead live among the living. There are lots of times where someone that has already passed away in the novel actually takes part in the daily lives of the living; ie, they walk around the house and have dinner with them. Like I said, it's pretty hard to explain it very well. But it's a beautiful story.
