Journal Entry 4 by wingmeganhwing at Preston, Victoria Australia on Sunday, February 19, 2023
This book was written like a number of quite separate short stories which started coming together in the very last few chapters. Lots of similarities in the stories and a few small connections to other chapters kept the book interesting to me, the reader. The stories moved from New York to London to Jerusalem over the decades, all eventually tied together.
I enjoyed the book very much.
Heading off to a Wishlist tagger next.

Thanks very much for the tag, meganh.
I thought "The History of Love" was excellent, so really looking forward to this one.
