About this listen

Audie Award Finalist, Romance, 2013

Two couples. Two love stories. One epic tale. Ninety-one-year-old Ira Levinson is in trouble. Struggling to stay conscious after a car crash, with his mind fading, an image of his adored - and long-dead - wife Ruth appears. Urging him to hang on, she lovingly recounts the joys and sorrows of their life together - how they met, the dark days of WWII and its unrelenting effect on their families.

A few miles away, college student Sophia Danko's life is about to change. Recovering from a break-up, she meets the young, rugged Luke and is thrown into a world far removed from her privileged school life. Sophia sees a new and tantalising future for herself, but Luke is keeping a secret that could destroy it all.

Ira and Ruth. Sophia and Luke. Two couples, separated by years and experience, whose lives are about to converge in the most unexpected - and shocking - of ways. The new love story from the multi-million-copy bestselling author of The Notebook, The Lucky One and The Best of Me. Nicholas Sparks is one of the world's most beloved authors.

Beautiful

I thought it was another chick flick romance to start with and I nearly didn’t go on, but it did get better
The story became clearer as it progressed and there were a few tense moments when Luke was riding and definitely should not have been.
I liked the twist at the end
I thought Ira’s will was clever

Beginning doesn’t grab

I am a big fan of NS and this book is no different. The reason for my rating being 4 star is souly because I was not as engaged in the Irah chapters as they were slow moving. However, I am sure some would love the juxtaposition of the stories.
