Message in a Bottle, Nights in Rodanthe etc. His last book "Two by Two", I really couldn't get in to, and I didn't finish it. I first began my love affair with the work of Nicholas Sparks back in 2012, where I read book after book of his work. Then we have Hope. When these two strangers’ paths cross, their chance encounter sets in motion a heart-breaking story – one that will transcend decades, continents and the workings of fate. Change ), You are commenting using your Facebook account. This is a love at first sight classic romance, that sees destiny play a huge role in shaping the lives of two individuals, Tru and Hope. There were a few choices that she made that didn’t quite stick well with me, but I feel in the spirit of the book, it did work well. ( Log Out /  The love that surrounds Tru and Hope is one that is separated by time, life choices, ill-fated decisions and reconnection. Through Hope, Sparks explores medical issues and an illness (I won’t say much more as I wish to avoid spoilers). Change ), You are commenting using your Google account. Every Breath by Nicholas Sparks is published by Hachette Australia. ( Log Out /  I loved how Sparks tied this idea into his novel, it worked well and it added another vital layer to the book. Apart from Tru and Hope, the other major character in this novel is the magical mailbox, ‘Kindred Spirit’, which is situated in the North Carolina setting of Every Breath. Every Breath is the heart pounding story of how these two strangers fall quickly and deeply in love, but they face immense complications. The king of contemporary romance fiction returns with a brand new love story titled, Every Breath. I will say that Every Breath is a book that will conjure up a variety of emotions; from happiness, to sadness, joy, frustration and it does leave you with hope. I just wanted a great love story. I felt like I had been transported to Zimbabwe in these scenes and many times I imagined myself standing there right beside Tru. Change ). Fans old and new will appreciate the classic romantic sojourn Every Breath represents, through the capable hands of master storyteller Nicholas Sparks. Oh Nicholas Sparks. Sparks does an excellent job of bringing this country to the pages of his novel. For me personally, Every Breath wasn’t quite up there with my favourite Sparks novel, Dear John, but it was an enjoyable read. It is always a comfort to return to the writing of an author that you have followed for some time. I thought this aspect of the novel was handled with sensitivity and insight by Sparks. I also loved the fact that it was based on a real life story of a mailbox situated in an isolated location in the US. In the romantic tradition of The Notebook and Nights in Rodanthe, #1 New York Times bestselling author Nicholas Sparks returns with a story about a chance encounter that becomes a touchstone for two vastly different individuals -- transcending decades, continents, and the bittersweet workings of fate. I enjoyed Hope’s story and I genuinely liked her as character. I can’t think of another male author that is able to capture to heart, feelings and emotions that Nicholas Sparks seems to so easily convey through the pages of his novel. https://www.hachette.com.au/nicholas-sparks/every-breath.
