What this book is about
Wilson Lewis narrates the story of his thirty-year marriage to Jane, the daughter of Allie and Noah from The Notebook. As their anniversary approaches, Wilson realizes he has missed something essential about the woman he loves, and the story follows his attempt to give her something worthy of her. Sparks's companion novel to The Notebook is quieter and more melancholic than the original—a meditation on what marriage becomes after decades, and whether renewal is possible.
