\nLeo Gursky is a Polish Jew who arrived in America after surviving the horrors of World War 2. A writer by nature he wrote a book about the only girl he ever loved – the girl who left for the USA before German onslaught could begin.
\nAlma Singer is nearly fifteen, a Jewish girl growing up in New York, her family traumatised by the loss of her father. She is named after every girl in a book called A History Of Love.
\nAfter Alma’s mother is asked to translate A History Of Love from the Spanish into English events begin intertwine and histories unravel as Krauss spins the story’s threads.
\nThis a lovely, surprisingly moving, little book about the nature of love, human connection and the power of lies and self-deception to alter lives.
\nI’d definitely recommend it as a read if you’re not in a particularly cynical frame of mind.<\/p>\n
