parot 's review for:

The History of Love by Nicole Krauss
4.0

This isn't an actual history of love nor is it a romance novel. It is a strange little book about an elderly man who used to be a boy in love and some of the years in between.
My only complaint (& that is overstating things) is that I wish there had been a tidier ending. I like my endings tied up in a nice neat package with a bow - preferably in an Epilogue that spells out exactly what happens to everyone I've grown fond of. I don't like loose ends or vague endings but I can't say that the book is ruined for me either. I just would really have preferred more information at the end - it was too abrupt.
