I had the pleasure to translate this book into Polish. I finished my job last week and I can say that it was one of the best books I have ever read and translated. When I received the book it was not published yet so I had a pile of loose pages and I felt as if I read the " …more History of Love" itself (when you read the book you will know what I mean). I could not help but wonder how a tale narrated by an old Polish Jew and a teenage girl could be so moving and unforgettable. It takes a great talent to convey so much meaning in such simple words. It is a story of love, loneliness, friendship, urge to be seen and heard, which speaks directly to your heart. A story of a boy who fell in love and it was his life. The image of Leo Gursky walking through his son's house and waiting on a park bench for his Alma will stay with me for ever. (less)
