Hi Heather, I absolutely loved it, too! I finished it in two days because I just couldn't put it down. I want to rent the movie now too (although, in my opinion the books are always better - but I'd like to see how they adapted it for a film)... It reminded me of movies like Chocolat & The Princess Bride...

You have so many spectacular books on your list, and yet you feel that The History of Love was your favorite? That amazes me: I thought the book was dreadful.Rose
