17. The History of Love by Nicole Krauss

50 LIBROS/ 50 BOOKS: Mujeres y sus historias

EL PASO – A couple of weeks ago I decided to do my walks/bike rides without music, instead I would play audiobooks, those old titles I had for free I don’t know when. And so it is that I started listening The History of Love by Nicole Krauss. It all starts with Leopold Gursky and his love for a girl named Alma. They are young, they love each other but they can’t be together, why? Because World War II begins to threaten their county.

EL PASO – This experiment of writing every week about books written by women or with intense female characters has been quite a journey for me. It has forced me to read more, to re-read more, to write more and, obviously, to become more aware of what good stories are made of. I have sat in different places to read, I have listened to different music to write. I have learned about the different techniques used by authors to create that so called fictional world.
