The Book of Love

I had to force myself to finish this book - all 640 pages. The writing was beautiful, but there was absolutely no story until the last 1/3 of the book. I almost bailed on this book several times, but I kept thinking that it must be building towards something. Right??

I think that this might have worked as a short story or novella.
