Another favorite of mine written by Nicholas Sparks is A Bend in the Road. This is a book that anybody and everybody will enjoy - even my 22 year old brother loves it! It's got a fantastic blend of mystery and a very unlikely love twist. While it begins with a hint of tragedy, this book will make you smile and laugh just as much as you cry with the characters. As always, Sparks has a way of making you feel like you're right there in the story and personally know the characters. This is one that I keep right in close range so I can just grab it whenever and enjoy. Even once you know how the story turns out you'll want to keep replaying this tale.
Nicholas Sparks usually writes about a love story that takes an awful twist. The difference in each book is whether or not the characters can get past that twist. In A Bend in the Road, this twist is something you will never see coming, I guarantee it. It will leave you heartbroken and hoping for a happy ending that seems impossible. As always, I hope you'll give this book a look at and read the first few chapters. It's really easy to read and even easier to fall in love with.
I've never read this book, but now I want to! (lol) I swear my book shopping list is going to be huge by the time this semester is over! I also have a book that I keep in close range...always! It's Cyrano De Bergerac by Edmund Rostand, but it is the Brian Hooker translation...which is the best English translation, in my opinion. I also have The Complete Works of William Shakespeare, which I also love, but Cyrano De Bergerac is my "security-blanket."
