      The bestselling love story behind the massive Hollywood film Two couples. Two love stories. One epic tale. Ninety-one-year-old Ira Levinson is in trouble. Struggling to stay conscious after a car crash, with his mind fading, an image of his adored - and long-dead - wife Ruth appears. Urging him to hang on, she lovingly recounts the joys and sorrows of their life together - how they met, the dark days of WWII and its unrelenting effect on their families. A few miles away, college student Sophia Danko's life is about to change. Recovering from a break-up, she meets the young, rugged Luke and is thrown into a world far removed from her privileged school life. Sophia sees a new and tantalising future for herself, but Luke is keeping a secret that could destroy it all. Ira and Ruth. Sophia and Luke. Two couples, separated by years and experience, whose lives are about to converge in the most unexpected - and shocking - of ways. The new love story from the multi-million-copy bestselling author of The Notebook, The Lucky One and The Best of Me. Nicholas Sparks is one of the world's most beloved authors.

      Te presento a Kate Reddy, brillante gestora de fondos y madre de dos hijos. Sabe trabajar con nueve divisas diferentes en cinco husos horarios a la vez. Se levanta y se ducha, viste a los niños y les prepara el desayuno, y todo en media hora. Siempre tiene una apretada agenda de reuniones y viajes pero no deja de pensar en la lista para el súper, la fiesta de cumpleaños de los niños, el disfraz para el colegio… Y encima pretende tener una vida propia: comer con amigas, ir de tiendas, hablar con su marido y… ¡¡¡sexo!!! Y encima, Kate necesita hacerlo todo muy bien,ha de ser la mejor, y la mejor en todo. Ah, y tampoco quiero olvidarme de aquella niñera mandona e impertinente que tiene, ni del jefe obsesionado con sus tetas, los suegros criticones, carcas… en fin, una locura total. De verdad, no sé cómo se lo monta. Léetelo. Te enganchará. (¿Y no eres tú un poco como Kate?)

      Bruce Gold, a middle-aged, Jewish professor of English literature, finds himself on the brink of a golden career in politics -- and not a moment too soon, as Gold yearns for an opportunity to transform a less-than-picture-perfect life: His children think little of him, his intimidating father endlessly bullies him, and his wife is so oblivious that she doesn't even notice he's left her. As funny as it is sad, Good as Gold is a story of children grown up, parents grown old, and friends and lovers grown apart -- a story that is inimitably Heller.
