History of Love

So I just started reading this book called "The History of Love," by Nicole Krauss. I'm going to London on Friday (whoot whoot!) and needed something to read on the plane, but as soon as I picked up this book I couldn't put it down. Well except to write this post, but I don't like to be too technical.

It's basically about this guy who fell in love with this girl when he was very young, the girl got shipped to America from their home in Slonim. He saved up money for years and years to be able to go live with her in America, then the Germans invaded, and being Jewish he had to flee. Once he got to America he found her and she had married someone else. She had been pregnant when she left Slonim with his child. He vows to never love again, and lives watching his son and his wife from afar. In vowing to never love again, he keeps himself at a distance from everything that requires him to love life.

I just really hope I never turn out this way.
