"Nights in Rodanthe"


Nicholas Sparks does it again with yet another beautifully written romantic story of family, love and support. We have read quite a few of his books, and even though they all seem to be a story of romance, each one has been very different. It just seems like you are there on the outside looking in, watching the story unfold and gives you that warm fuzzy feeling we all love to feel.


I thought about posting my feelings of the story, but realistically I don't want to give anything away...this is a quick read with less than 225 pages, but definitely worth the time and would recommend this book to everyone who loves to read!


Not sure where our next reading adventure will fall, but I can say that I will continue reading all of Sparks books until my list is complete!


Happy Reading!

Our Next Read Is.......

From Publishers Weekly:

Sparks (A Bend in the Road, etc.) logs more miles on the winding high road of romance with the story of two middle-aged people who meet by chance in the small North Carolina coastal town of Rodanthe. The impassioned but doomed romance seems to owe much to Robert James Waller's The Bridges of Madison County. Once again, a housewife who has focused on everyone but herself indulges in a brief, intense, secret affair with a stranger who changes her life forever. As the story begins, Adrienne Willis is 60, the divorced mother of three grown children. To help her troubled daughter cope with the untimely recent death of her husband, Adrienne tells her the tale of her love affair, which took place 15 years before. At the time, Adrienne was an uptight matron whose ex-husband had just left her for a younger woman. This rejection colors her entire life, and Sparks realistically portrays a vulnerable and isolated woman who throws herself into raising her children to escape her despair. Paul Flanner, her paramour, is a surgeon and an obsessive workaholic with no genuine connection to his wife or son, whose world completely falls apart when one of his patients inexplicably dies. Sparks builds a taut, plausible relationship between his protagonists, but even fans may be irked by the obviousness of their story and the inevitability of their fate.
