The History of Love
![](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41YCzPLMJPL._SL500_.jpg)
Leo Gursky taps his radiator each evening to let his upstairs neighbor know he's still alive. But it wasn't always like this: in the Polish village of his youth, he fell in love and wrote a book...Sixty years later and half a world away, fourteen-year-old Alma, who was named after a character in that book, undertakes an adventure to find her namesake and save her family. With virtuosic skill and soaring imaginative power, Nicole Krauss gradually draws these stories together toward a climax of "extraordinary depth and beauty" (Newsday).

Absolutely one of the best books that I have read. Nearly half-way through, I was getting a bit confused with the different storylines, but they all came together in such a great way. I loved this book!!!

A beautiful and sad story. I appreciate stories like this where the reader's perspective changes as more information comes to light.

I'm usually good at following books with confusing starts- but this one was like a book, inside of a book, with a story on the side. I really wanted to like it, but I just never "got it". :-(
