The Notebook

By Nicholas Sparks

Experience the New York Times bestselling heartbreaking love story set in post-World War II North Carolina about a young socialite and the boy who once stole her heart--the inspiration for the feature film starring Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling. At thirty-one, Noah Calhoun, back in coastal North Carolina after World War II, is haunted by images of the girl he lost more than a decade earlier. At twenty-nine, socialite Allie Nelson is about to marry a wealthy lawyer, but she cannot stop thinking about the boy who long ago stole her heart. Thus begins the story of a love so enduring and deep it can turn tragedy into triumph, and may even have the power to create a miracle ... Every so often a love story so captures our hearts that it becomes more than a story--it becomes an experience to remember forever. The Notebook is such a book. It is a celebration of how passion can be ageless and timeless, a tale that moves us to laughter and tears and makes us believe in true love all over again ...

“The Notebook” I feel is the novel he is most famous for! An old couple living in a nursing home. Wife has Alzheimer’s and the husband tells her their love story every day to help her remember him.

This book touches deeply on the experience of aging. No one necessarily prepares us for the emotional pain of watching our parents grow older, seeing my mother suffer from arthritis and my father battling dementia has been incredibly difficult. It's truly a heartfelt story.

OMG! I cried through pretty much the whole book- Yes I've seen the movie- but the book was great. I really wish that everyone could find a love like that. Is that person really out there? I thinks it's more like finding someone who is just as willing to give and take as you are. It's about letting you be yourself no matter what.
