In The History of Love: A Novel, Polish refugee Leo Gursky has become invisible to the world. He trudges though life in New York missing the woman he’s always loved, the son who doesn’t know he’s his father, and his novel “The History of Love,” which was stolen, plagiarized, and published in Chile by a different man. Meanwhile, teenaged Alma Singer, trying to comfort her widowed mother, is asked by a stranger to translate “The History of Love” from Spanish. As the plot expands with various twists and turns, more questions arise, and the characters weave paths to create a beautiful and complex story.
