The History of Love: A Novel
Nicole Krauss
"Ah, see this is not a simple story. It's a complicated story with at least three different characters' lives interwoven. There is, basically the theme is lost.
There is an old man who survived the Nazis in Poland, sorry. But lost his love of his life who moved to America years before him, didn't mention to him she was pregnant and turned out she actually had his son, but married someone else and raised him as that man's son.
I liked that it's hilarious. I was proctoring an exam and reading this book, in this silent room with like 200 people and then I start laughing out loud. So, fights are really funny. I like that it's got a little mystery, a little suspense. It makes us work a little to put together the pieces.
Ah, I recommend you read it with a friend or a book group because there's so much to talk about. There's so many clues that some people miss that other people might get. I'd give it a five, but you honestly have to read the last like 20 pages to catch it when you get there."
