"The words of our childhood became strangers to us - we couldn't use them in the same way and so we chose not to use them at all. Life demanded a new language." The Last Words on Earth, p. 6

"Once upon a time there was a boy who loved a girl, and her laughter was a question he wanted to spend his whole life answering." The Last Words on Earth, p. 11

"She'd stroke my hair and say, 'I love you so much,' and when I sneezed she'd say, 'Bless you, you know how much I love you, don't you?' and when I got up for a tissue she'd say, 'Let me get it for you I love you so much,' and when I looked for a pen to do my homework she'd say, 'Use mine, anything for you,' and when I had an itch on my leg she'd...

The History of Love’s two narrators are fourteen-year-old Alma Singer, named after a character from an obscure book named The History of Love, and Leo Gursky, a retired locksmith and Holocaust survivor. Alma has been trying to make her widowed mother feel less sad for years, while also worrying about survival in the wild, her brother, who everyone calls Bird due to his tendency to jump from high places, and her friendship and maybe something more with Misha.

As for Leo, he fears that he’s disappearing, and so every day he comes up with a plan to make himself noticed. His biggest fear is to die in a day when he hasn’t been seen by anyone, so when he goes out he does goofy or clumsy things to make sure people actually see him. Leo still often thinks of Alma, a girl he loved as a young man in Poland long ago. Like Alma Singer, the book The History of Love is at the centre of his life.

I think it takes a lot of talent to write a book that deals with loneliness this deep, with losses this immense, without actually being depressing. It takes a lot to combine sadness and humour as well as Nicole Krauss does. The writing is what makes this book so perfect: it’s so tender, so funny, so moving. Both narrators’ voices are so unique. Reading this I was reminded of Eleanor Rigby by Douglas Coupland, one of my all-time favourite books. The books aren't actually all that similar, but this should give you an idea of how much I enjoyed The History of Love.

I love quirky, smart young narrators, and Alma is nothing if not one. And I love older narrators, and often wish there were more of them in fiction. I should specify that I love them if they’re real and complex and not just a token old person, and Leo Gursky absolutely is. Finally, I love stories about stories, and, among many other things, The History of Love is one: a story about the power of writing and memory, about how stories make us real, about how they are real in their own unique way.

And another thing The History of Love is about is, well, human connections of all kinds: falling in love, family ties, friendship, small gestures of kindness between strangers, anything you can think of, really. Nicole Krauss brilliantly explores their importance, and the gap their absence leaves in people's lives.

The one thing about this novel I was less than thrilled about was the ending. I didn’t know what to make of it, and so I waited a while to write this post. Over a week later, I still don’t know what to think. This is not a novel that asks for a neat resolution, I don’t think, but the way it ended felt a little too abrupt to me. I suspect that was part of the point, though, and that I’ll appreciate the ending more on a second read.
