What is The History Of Love: A Novel about?

Shortlisted for the Orange Prize for Fiction 2006 and winner of the 2006 Prix du Meilleur Livre Etranger for Roman, The History Of Love explores the lasting power of the written word and the lasting power of love. "Wonderfully affecting... brilliant, touching and remarkably poised." - Sunday Telegraph Fourteen-year-old Alma Singer is trying to find a cure for her mother's loneliness. Believing she might discover it in an old book her mother is lovingly translating, she sets out in search of its author. Across New York, an old man called Leo Gursky is trying to survive a little bit longer. He spends his days dreaming of the love lost sixty years ago in Poland that inspired him to write a book. And although he doesn't know it yet, that book also survived: crossing oceans and generations and changing lives... "A tender tribute to human valiance. Who could be unmoved by a cast of characters whose daily battles are etched on our mind in such diamond-cut prose?" - Independent on Sunday "Devastating... one of the most passionate vindications of the written word in recent fiction. It takes one's breath away." - Spectator
