There was a time when the world was sweeter...when the women in Beaufort, North Carolina, wore dresses, and the men donned hats...when something happened to a seventeen-year-old boy that would change his life forever. It was 1958, and Landon had already dated a girl or two. He even swore that he had once been in love. Certainly the last person in town he thought he'd fall for was Jamie Sullivan, the daughter of the town's Baptist minister.

This book is on its way to 'Hellie' in England..........

Thanks - saw the film, found it a bit sweety sweety, hoping the book has more substance....have loved his other books - and am actually amazed how mnay have been turned into films......
Thanks

picked up at the newcastle meeting, it's on the pile of ever expanding to read books

A great read. A very bitter sweet book, must try and rent the film now because i'd love to see if it lives up to the book
