History of Love by Nicole Krauss

Recommended by Sara Coe. This was a book-within-a-book book, which kept me on my toes. The story followed a manuscript from war-torn Europe during WWII to modern-day New York. The characters were a little hard to keep track of, with the exception of the incredibly likeable narrator. I did enjoy the secrets that kept getting figured out as the book unfolded, although I was not crazy about how difficult it was to read. Even Time Traveler's Wife was easier to track than this. The author also employed some strange dramatic devices (one word on a page, e.g.) in places that seemed unnecessary.
