Love and Other Consolation Prizes by Jamie Ford
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the free digital ARC copy of this book.

I enjoyed this book more than I thought I would. It reminds me of a Nicolas Sparks book...kind of like the Notebook. It is such an emotional love story of two world's fairs and the events in between that led to a wonderful marriage.

The book begins with a Chinese American man who is watching the World's Fair from afar because he can't bear enjoying it without the love of his life who is suffering from dementia. The book goes back in time to let the reader peer into the time when they first met and their blossoming relationship through the years.

This is a very sweet book about the love that the older couple has for each other. The contrast of the character of the wife before and after her dementia is very saddening and emotional.
