«L'histoire de l'amour» is the novel by Nicole Krauss, published by Gallimard in paperback (360 pages, in French).
Alma tries to overcome her father's death with a book that her mother translates and whose protagonist bears her name. An old man rewrites his youth in Poland, a lost love and an absent son; in Chile, an exile composes a novel. Three lonely people united by that book, whose ending each will write. It addresses memory, grief and the Holocaust.

Aimed at readers of literary and contemporary fiction, with plots that intertwine historical memory and personal lives.
