Now in paperback and soon to be a motion picture, Nicholas Spark's, THE LAST SONG arrives in my mailbox.
"Honey, the new Nicholas Sparks book, THE LAST SONG, is here," I yelled to my husband working diligently in his workshop. As a Nicholas Sparks fan, I look forward to his work with anticipation. Reading the title, THE LAST SONG, evoked all kinds of images as to its content. The word "last" means that something is ending brings with it images of sadness. And so it is with this book. I spent the last two hours of reading wiping the tears from my eyes.
Main character, Ronnie is just short of her eighteenth birthday when her mother insists that she and her brother spend the summer with their father at the beach in Wrightsville, North Carolina. Her father left to give a piano concert three years ago and didn't come home. Ronnie hasn't spoken with him since. She is not as eager as her younger brother, Jonah, to visit with her father and spends the first days of her visit walking the beachfront and acquainting herself with the locals rather than spend time with her father. She develops a friendship with Blaze, a young woman who doesn't exactly fit the ultimate child picture of every mother and father.
Ronnie also develops a relationship with a young man named Will. She and Will spend the entire summer together and Ronnie's attitude changes for the better.
When her father reveals a secret he has kept all summer, Ronnie has to deal with more than she bargained.
Nicholas Sparks once again proves he is one of the world's best storytellers. If you want a book that you can relate to, one that will clean out the eye ducts and hold your interest...this is your book!
Summary of The Last SongSeventeen year old Veronica "Ronnie" Miller's life was turned upside-down when her parents divorced and her father moved from New York City to Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina. Three years later, she remains angry and alientated from her parents, especially her father...until her mother decides it would be in everyone's best interest if she spent the summer in Wilmington with him. Ronnie's father, a former concert pianist and teacher, is living a quiet life in the beach town, immersed in creating a work of art that will become the centerpiece of a local church. The tale that unfolds is an unforgettable story of love on many levels--first love, love between parents and children -- that demonstrates, as only a Nicholas Sparks novel can, the many ways that love can break our hearts...and heal them.
