Notebook
Description
A man with a faded, well-worn notebook open in his lap. A
woman experiencing a morning ritual she doesn’t understand. Until he
begins to read to her. The Notebook is an achingly tender story about
the enduring power of love, a story of miracles that will stay with you
forever. Set amid the austere beauty of coastal North Carolina in 1946,
The Notebook begins with the story of Noah Calhoun, a rural Southerner
returned home from World War II. Noah, thirty-one, is restoring a
plantation home to its former glory, and he is haunted by images of the
beautiful girl he met fourteen years earlier, a girl he loved like no
other. Unable to find her, yet unwilling to forget the summer they spent
together, Noah is content to live with only memories. . . until she
unexpectedly returns to his town to see him once again. Allie Nelson,
twenty-nine, is now engaged to another man, but realizes that the
original passion she felt for Noah has not dimmed with the passage of
time. Still, the obstacles that once ended their previous relationship
remain, and the gulf between their worlds is too vast to ignore. With
her impending marriage only weeks away, Allie is forced to confront her
hopes and dreams for the future, a future that only she can shape. Like a
puzzle within a puzzle, the story of Noah and Allie is just beginning.
As it unfolds, their tale miraculously becomes something different, with
much higher stakes. The result is a deeply moving portrait of love
itself, the tender moments, and fundamental changes that affect us all.
Shining with a beauty that is rarely found in current literature, The
Notebook establishes Nicholas Sparks as a classic storyteller with a
unique insight into the only emotion that really matters.
