The History of Love

BOOK The History of Love by Nicole Krauss


It took me just about six months to finish. At 252 pages, that averages to roughly 1.5 pages per day from February to August. Little doses taken in one at a time, of sweet in the saddest way.

Nothing was spelled out in this story. Artifacts of various sizes and qualities were presented - diary excerpts, novel passages, dialogue - to piece together love in its many forms, which makes The History of Love the perfect book to have read very slowly. At least that's my excuse.
