I enjoyed this book. The body of the book was better/more engaging than the ending, but I didn't really mind. It did remind me a bit of Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close (written by the author's husband, Jonathan Safran Foer) in that both deal with multiple generations of people in New York dealing with loss and personal history. If you liked EL&IC, you might like History of Love as well.
