History of Love by Nicole Krauss



Genre: Romance +Fiction

About: Nicole Krauss's The History of Love is a hauntingly beautiful novel about two characters whose lives are woven together in such complex ways that even after the last page is turned, the reader is left to wonder what really happened. In the hands of a less gifted writer, unraveling this tangled web could easily give way to complete chaos. However, under Krauss's watchful eye, these twists and turns only strengthen the impact of this enchanting book.

My Review: I think the book is pretty sweet. It gets a bit confusing some parts but nonetheless it remind us that love is a potentially greatest emotion to be felt.

Rating: 4.5/5
