How the three arcs come together and get woven into one fabric and how this mysterious book binds them together, forms the rest of the story. The third story arc is about the writer Zvi Litvinoff and how he came to write this book. One of the things that Alma talks about is a book called ‘The History of Love’ written by a mysterious writer called Zvi Litvinoff. Her mother continues to grieve for her husband while the children grieve in ways that they don’t even realize. She lives with her mother and younger brother. The second story arc is narrated by a teenage girl, Alma Singer. The Leo Gursky of today, narrates what happened. He hopes to catch up with her, get married to her, and live happily ever after. The girl he loves moved to America before the war started. He is Jewish and he moved from Poland to America during the Second World War to escape from the Nazis. The first one is narrated by a man in his eighties, Leo Gursky. There are three story arcs in ‘ The History of Love‘. When our book group decided to read it this month, I was so excited. I made a mental note to read it at some point. I was discussing favourite books with one of my friends at that time and she said Krauss’ book was one of her top five alltime favourites. I discovered Nicole Krauss’ ‘ The History of Love‘ around ten years back.
