Nazarian, Vera - The Story of Love
The Story of Love is exactly what it says it is. In this version it is the story of forgiveness--a daughter painfully abused by a wealthy but cruel and somewhat mad father eventually prays to the God of Love and is granted the ability to love him. Thus saving him and her husband, whom she is dutiful toward as her rescuer but does not particularly love. I have completely spoiled the story and am not at all sorry, as it is completely predictable the whole way through. But it is well written, so can still be read and enjoyed. 2 stars from me, though.
