An epic love story in the tradition of his beloved first novel, The Notebook, Nicholas Sparks returns with this unexpected and profound love story of two couples.

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 adoredβ€”and long-deadβ€”wife Ruth appears. Urging him to hang on, she lovingly recounts the joys and sorrows of their life togetherβ€”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 unexpectedβ€”and shockingβ€”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.
