The History of Love

I had this book on a shelf at my parents' house for around seven years. I remember starting reading it at the time and hating it (honestly don't remember why). I grabbed it recently and the experience couldn't have been more different. I haven't read something so plot-driven in a long time, with so many twists and turns, and although I usually prefer slower-paced books, more character-driven, this really really caught my attention and made me really happy. “This book restores your faith in fiction”, it says on the front cover. And it really does. What a lovely, warm read.
