Story5 out of 5 stars 138
On Easter day, 1939, at Marian Anderson's epochal concert on the Washington Mall, David Strom, a German Jewish emigre scientist, meets Delia Daley, a young Philadelphia Negro studying to be a singer. Their mutual love of music draws them together, and - against all odds and better judgment - they marry. They vow to raise their children beyond time, beyond identity, steeped in song. But their three children must survive America's brutal here and now.

An unforgettable epic

The story is real. I’ve learned a lot about music and composers who are less familiar. It’s the best historical fiction I’ve ever read.

Nicole Krauss' first novel, Man Walks Into a Room, was shortlisted for the Los Angeles Times Book Award and her short fiction has been collected in Best American Short Stories. Now The History of Love proves Krauss is among our finest and freshest literary voices.

The Greatest Novel
Reviewed: 05-18-20
After reading The History of Love twice over the last ten years, I decided to listen to it. The narrators were outstanding. The characters were very real, showing how things come together. Life, even for the most mundane of us is an adventure.
