Description
Leo Gursky taps his radiator each evening to let his upstairs neighbour know he’s still alive. But it wasn’t always like this: in the Polish village of his youth, he fell in love and wrote a book…
Sixty years later and half a world away, fourteen-year-old Alma, who was named after a character in that book, undertakes an adventure to find her namesake and save her family. With virtuosic skill and soaring imaginative power, Nicole Krauss gradually draws these stories together toward a climax of extraordinary depth and beauty (Newsday).
The History of Love is an unforgettable story of enduring passions and connections across time and space.
