This was not one of his best. Slow- moving. Bland. ( ) Após quase 30 anos de casamento, Wilson Lewis é obrigado a encarar uma dolorosa verdade: sua esposa, Jane, parece ter deixado de amá-lo, e ele é o único culpado disso. Viciado em trabalho, Wilson costumava passar mais tempo no escritório do que com a família. Além disso, nunca conseguiu ser romântico como o sogro era com a própria mulher. A história de amor dos pais de Jane, contada em Diário de uma paixão, sempre foi um exemplo para os filhos de como um casamento deveria ser. Diante da incapacidade do marido de expressar suas emoções, Jane começa a duvidar de que tenha feito a escolha certa ao se casar com ele. Wilson, porém, sente que seu amor pela esposa só cresceu ao longo dos anos. Agora que seu relacionamento está ameaçado, ele vai fazer o que for necessário para se tornar o homem que Jane sempre desejou que ele fosse. In a world where we hear so much about divorce, it's refreshing to find a couple that wants to rekindle their romance. In some ways, this book reminded me of "Fireproof" (though with less religiousness). I've read enough Nicholas Sparks to know he usually has a twist in his stories--and this one does have that. I guessed right on when it would happen but wrong on how it would happen. I don't agree with Jane's original idea (as a believer) to marry Wilson (then an unbeliever) because she was convinced he would eventually become a believer (he did). In fiction, where authors can control the characters, that's fine. In real life, it's riskier. You'd have to be prepared in case the other person never chose to believe. I also don't subscribe to the people coming back as animals idea that Noah believes. (That part is not in "Fireproof" for those that were wondering.) I found this book on the sale shelf at the library. Knowing I've enjoyed other Nicholas Sparks titles, I decided to purchase it. no reviews | add a review

HTML:In this stunning New York Times bestselling follow-up to The Notebook, a hardworking but distant husband vows to win back the love of his life by looking to Noah and Allie's legendary romance. After thirty years, Wilson Lewis is forced to face a painful truth: the romance has gone out of his marriage. His wife, Jane, has fallen out of love with him, and it is entirely his fault. Despite the shining example of his in-laws, Noah and Allie Calhoun, and their fifty-year love affair, Wilson himself is a man unable to express his true feelings. He has spent too little time at home and too much at the office, leaving the responsibility of raising their children to Jane. Now his daughter is about to marry, and his wife is thinking about leaving him. But if Wilson is sure of anything, it is this: His love for Jane has only grown over the years, and he will do everything he can to save their marriage. With the memories of Noah and Allie's inspiring life together as his guide, he vows to find a way to make his wife fall in love with him...all over again. No library descriptions found. |
