Message in a Bottle Nicholas

Theresa Osborne è stata lasciata dal marito, che improvvisamente ha scelto un'altra donna. Adesso dedica la sua vita al figlio Jason e al lavoro di ricercatrice al Chicago Tribune. Durante una vacanza solitaria, mentre Jason è con il padre, Theresa raccoglie su una spiaggia deserta una bottiglia con dentro un messaggio commovente e intenso dedicato alla "cara Catherine" - A woman finds a romantic letter in a bottle washed ashore and tracks down the author, a widowed shipbuilder whose wife died tragically early. As a deep and mutual attraction blossoms, the man struggles to make peace with his past so that he can move on and find happiness.

In the prologue to his latest novel, Nicholas Sparks makes the rather presumptuous pledge "first you will smile, and then you will cry," but sure enough, he delivers the goods. With his calculated ability to throw your heart around like a yo-yo (try out his earlier Message in the Bottle or The Notebook if you really want to stick it to yourself), Sparks pulls us back to the perfect innocence of a first love.
In 1958 Landon Carter is a shallow but well-meaning teenager who spends most of his time hanging out with his friends and trying hard to ignore the impending responsibilities of adulthood. Then Landon gets roped into acting the lead in the Christmas play opposite the most renowned goody two-shoes in town: Jamie Sullivan. Against his best intentions and the taunts of his buddies, Landon finds himself falling for Jamie and learning some central lessons in life.
