The History of Love

The History of Love (2005) by Nicole Kraus. "The History of Love" is a book within a book, a fictional book written by one of the characters in this novel. This book covers themes of the Holocaust, love and memory, and life in modern-day America. I found it to be a pretty good read, but the numerous characters, and the way the book jumped back in forth between them, and back and forth in time, I found a bit confusing. I was reading another book at the time, and my enjoyment of this book may have suffered. All in all, I found it an interesting read, but not a totally absorbing experience. Grade: B
