Review
“Vertiginously exciting…Beyond the vigorous whiplash that keeps The History of Love moving (and keeps its reader off balance until a stunning finale), this novel is tightly packed with ingenious asides…Even at their most oddball, these flourishes reflect the deep, surprising wisdom that gives this novel its ultimate heft.†- Janet Maslin, New York Times“At least as heartbreaking as it is hilarious.†- Washington Post“Krauss writes like an angel.†- Guardian“One of the most passionate vindications of the written word in recent fiction. It takes one’s breath away.†- Spectator“It’s the sort of book that makes life bearable after all.†- Miami Herald“A significant novel, genuinely one of the year’s best. Emotionally wrenching yet intellectually rigorous, idea-driven but with indelible characters and true suspense.†- New York“Big, bold, twist-your-heart sad, kick-your-heels joyful―Nicole Krauss's brilliant novel is as deep and multifaceted as love itself.†- Marie Claire“It restores your faith in fiction. It restores all sorts of faith.†- Ali Smith“Nicole Krauss's gripping new voice doesn't work its way into the pantheon of American voices: it literally walks straight up to them and asks them to move over.†- Andre Aciman

I read this book ten years ago, and it's remains my favorite book to this day. What a beautiful story mixed with humor, heartbreak, and lessons of enduring love. Indeed, it's an intricate book that alternates between and weaves multiple storylines. Some reviewers say it's confusing and don't like the bouncing around, but I believe it adds an important element to the book. The effect is that it keeps you looking forward to see how each storyline and character progresses and guessing how they will ultimately link together. There's a feeling of great satisfaction when it starts coming together, and it does so beautifully. It was recently made into a movie that's showing in Europe, not sure when or if it will run in America. The format of the book doesn't seem like it would lend easily to a movie, and from the reviews I've read, there is a confusing element to it with the multiple stories.
Normally my go to reading scale is that if a book makes me cry, then it's 5 stars.This book is an exception to this rule.The History of Love weave together three story lines stretching back to German occupied Poland in World War 2, to South America, and New York City. It follow the story of a book written by a young man in love with a girl who left for America to escape the Germans and the books convoluted path to publication and readership affected the lives of all of the characters.While the writing was gorgeous, moving, funny, and absolutely quotable, I found myself sometimes lost in what was actually happening. This was especially true in the excerpts from the book that supposedly spawned all of the events. The passages were dense, lyrical, confusing, and didn't seem to have a point other than to be beautiful. I kept going back and rereading them thinking that I would find the point, but then eventually I just had to resign myself to push on and accept that not every part of this book would make complete sense to me.Bird and his sister Alma were my favorite characters in the book. The way the Krauss told their story through their unique voices really touched me. I can't quite put my finger on why the writing in this novel moved me, but it just did.Check this one out! I certainly enjoyed it, despite it's issues.
This is the fourth or fifth time I'm reading The History of Love. First, Nicole Krauss is an excellent writer. I believe the first paragraph of this book is the best one I've ever read. Usually, when I reach the last ten pages, it takes me forever to finish the book because I don't want it to end. The humor, the humanity, the characters are wonderful. I definitely recommend it, read it not once, but several times. Each time the reading offers more and more surprises.
This book is not for the impatient reader. You won't want to rush through it. You may need to stop at times and think about where a previous story line left off. And instead of being annoyed, you'll be entranced by the layers and flow.This is a beautiful story that deliciously, and often heart-breakingly, weaves past and present. I laughed, cried, feared, mourned, and loved, right along with each character. It's the kind of book I like to read over many days, a little at a time, to savor and digest.
If you are looking for an evocative literary read full of memorable, multi-dimensional characters, this may be the book for you. If you are looking for a simple, straightforward plotline with a clear resolution, this might not be the book for you. The writing is remarkable, particularly in how effectively the author describes the feelings of her characters. There are multiple narrators and storylines that move between countries and time. The bulk of the story is told through the points of view of Leo, an elderly man living in Brooklyn who fled Poland during WWII and Alma, a teenaged girl living in Brooklyn with her mother and younger brother. Many people have commented about how hilarious this book is. I would describe it differently. Much of this book is very sad, filled with loneliness, and loss. Yes, there are comic moments and quirky aspects that are humorous, but it feels tragi-comic more than funny. But, overall, it feels true. I believed these characters and the narrative. That said, there were places where I was confused about exactly who was who. There were places where the author began to build connections that, again, left me wondering what just happened. The connections are fragile and not fully explained. Even at the end, I found myself wondering what had happened and where we ended up. Despite those reservations, this is a beautiful book, and I was very glad that I read it. It was a selection for our book group and it led to an excellent discussion. If I had felt confident about where we ended up, I would have given it 5 stars because it is so beautifully written, but the residual confusion detracted from my rating.
Again we are reminded the victims of the nazi's are victims their whole lives including in death. They seem dead even when living for there is no escape from the suffering they incurred to find a life worth living. Well done. Thanks for the wonderful story also including the young children trying to find peace in their father's death at a young age. Your heart breaks for them searching for love. I appreciate the way you tied it all together with the "history of love".
