The Notebook
Nicholas Sparks, 1996
An old man's devotion to the woman he loves, told in plain, unguarded prose for anyone who has ever measured a life by whom they loved.
Nicholas Sparks
Nicholas Sparks writes about love in small Carolina towns, where people meet, part, and keep choosing each other through distance, duty and old wounds. Start with «The Notebook» for a lifelong devotion told plainly, or «Safe Haven» for a woman starting over and the widowed shopkeeper and his children who slowly make her new town feel like a life. These are quiet, tender books for when you want to sit with ordinary people carrying real weight.
Feels like love, longing and tenderness.
Start with The Notebook.
Sparks wrote The Notebook while working in pharmaceutical sales; it became his first published novel in 1996.
The case for a small life, made by a man who has lived one.
I am nothing special; of this I am sure. I am a common man with common thoughts, and I’ve led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten, but I’ve loved another with all my heart and soul, and to me, this has always been enough. Books by Nicholas Sparks
