This book is truly a love story, but it is also a bit of a history lesson, less about love than about WWII to present day times. However, that in no way makes it historical fiction. This book is Literature with a capital "L." Elegant writing, tender and compassionate character development, unflinching truth and a lyrical voice all made me fall in love with this book and the people within.
My thought is that Nicole Krauss and her husband Jonathan Safran Foehr must live in a cooperative residence in Manhattan filled with grandparent-aged Jewish people who one by one tell them their true stories. Otherwise, these two authors are truly the most imaginative creators of fiction on the planet. Truth is often stranger than fiction, so that's my thought and I'm sticking with it.
