內容簡介
There was a time when the world was sweeter....when the women in Beaufort, North Carolina, wore dresses, and the men donned hats.... Every April, when the wind smells of both the sea and lilacs, Landon Carter remembers 1958, his last year at Beaufort High. Landon had dated a girl or two, and even once sworn that he'd been in love. Certainly the last person he thought he'd fall for was Jamie, the shy, almost ethereal daughter of the town's Baptist minister....Jamie, who was destined to show him the depths of the human heart-and the joy and pain of living. The inspiration for this novel came from Nicholas Sparks's sister: her life and her courage. From the internationally bestselling author Nicholas Sparks, comes his most moving story yet....
一個貌似老套的愛情故事,卻因其蘊含的深刻而不落俗套;一場看似尋常的青澀初戀,卻因其創設的情境而耐人尋味。這便是尼古拉斯·斯帕剋思的暢銷小說《留住一片情》。
悲情的故事或令人感慨,或催人淚下,或二者兼而有之。然而,我們在閱讀這部作品時,不僅僅會醉心於初戀的至純至美,感傷於故事的纏綿悱惻,而且還會感悟到生活的真諦——在愛情這襲華服的掩飾之下,作者轉達給我們的是諸多寓意:人生的價值,人性的成長,親情的重拾,真愛的意義……
《留住一片情》是一部古舊而雅緻的浪漫小說。斯帕剋思用一支生花的妙筆,為我們展示瞭一個哀婉動人的愛情故事。無論年齡大小,無論身居何處,我們隻要打開這本小說,就會被書中彌漫著的懷舊氣息和人情味所感染。於是,在斯帕剋思的引領之下,我們會同男主人公一道,經曆心智的成熟,情智的提升,還有人性的成長。

精彩書評
"Sure to wring yet more tears from willing readers' eyes, the latest novel by the bestselling Sparks is a forced coming-of-age story concerning a pair of unlikely young lovers. In a corny flashback device that mimics The Notebook, 57-year-old Landon Carter spirits himself back to his fateful senior year in high school in Beaufort, N.C., when he was an archetypal troublemaking teenager of the 1950s, changed forever by an unexpected first love. Jamie Sullivan, the Bible-toting minister's daughter, with her drab brown sweaters, spinster hairstyle and sincere, beatific advice, is the obvious target of high school ridicule. Despite conspiring in Jamie's derision, class president Landon, desperate for a date for the homecoming dance, finds himself asking Jamie. Afterwards, Jamie asks him to participate with her in the metaphor-laden school Christmas play (Jamie plays the angel). Landon endures the taunting of his friends and forms an uneasy friendship with Jamie, which is carefully supervised by her father. The teens visit needy orphans, give Oscar-worthy performances in the school play and share dreams watching the sunset. Landon realizes he's in love with Jamie, but, of course, she is hiding a devastating secret that could wring her from Landon's arms forever. Now tortured by his knowledge of what will be her terrible fate, he must make the ultimate decision that catapults him into adulthood. Readers may be frustrated with the invariable formula that Sparks seems to regurgitate with regularity. Although the narrator declares, "My story can't be summed up in two or three sentences; it can't be packaged into something neat and simple that people would immediately understand," this is the author's most simple, formulaic, and blatantly melodramatic package to date."
-- Publishers Weekly
"In Sparks's latest sentimental tale, a 17-year-old boy in 1950s North Carolina finds all his expectations overthrown by the Baptist minister's daughter. Film rights were purchased by the producer of Message in a Bottle."
-- Library Journal
