The History of Love by Nicole Krauss

5.0

A lot of people criticize this book as being too similar to Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, which was written by Krauss's husband around the same time as The History of Love. I personally preferred Krauss's version of the story, especially when the narration focused on Leo, who was a fascinating character. Her writing style is much more natural than her husband's and I was moved to tears by this book.
