The History of Love

This month for book club we are reading The History of Love, written by Nicole Krauss. It is one of the craziest books I have ever read. It was good... it just was wierd, and my head is still spinning thinking about it and trying to figure it out. I don't have bookclub until the end of this month... but I thought I'd try for some feedback from ya before I go to it.

The summary (courtesy of Wikipedia):

The History of Love is a novel in the form of a homage to things lost, as well as to unsolved mysteries. The novel within the novel, also named The History of Love is the basis for all these questions.
Leo Gursky is an old locksmith who feels as though he is disappearing. He tries at all costs to draw attention to himself, but he still feels he has a void in his life. Eventually, he goes on a quest to find his long-lost son and the novel that he wrote as a young man, now published in Chile under the name of Zvi Litvinoff. Alma Singer is a teenage girl who is trying to keep her family together after the loss of her father. Named after the heroine of The History of Love, Alma tries to console her widowed mother (who has recently been requested to translate the novel from Spanish) as well as keep her younger brother Bird (who believes he is a lamed vovnik) from becoming a social pariah.


Anyway, give it a try and see what you think!
