Book Club
Reading the History of Love ...
We
loved this book. Our book club, whose members don’t often agree, loved
this book. It’s the kind of book when you’re finished, you’ll want to
read again. The story is about an old man who is grappling with the end
of his life, a young girl whose father has died and now she is trying
to cure her mother’s loneliness and the saga of a certain book, the
translation of which ties all the characters together. Of course, the
book in question is titled, The History of Love. The young girl is in search of its author.
Author
Nicole Krauss was born in 1974 and is able to write literary fiction
that not only carries a punch, but is readable. The book is poignant,
beautiful and intriguing. Krauss lives in Brooklyn with her young
husband, novelist Jonathan Safran Foer, who wrote Everything is Illuminated and Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close. They have a son, Sasha.
