A Bend in the Road, Nicholas Sparks’ powerful tale of true love, is a moving story that would seem light on the outside but with subtle depths inside. It is the kind of love story that will touch until the very depth of the reader’s heart. The love shown in this story is the kind of love that could last for a lifetime. Its story is not only about the love like the lovers has but it is the kind of love that is very unconditional and selfless. It is the kind of love that is very willing to be given in spite of everything one has to risk.
The story began on the death of Missy Ryan, Miles Ryan’s wife. She was killed on a hit-and-run accident. For two years, the life of Miles Ryan stopped because being a county sheriff; he could not even give justice to the death of his own wife. He could not only grieve for her and worry about their young son, Jonah, but also longs to put the person responsible for Missy’s death behind bars. But by a twist of fate, he met Sarah Andrews, Jonah’s second grade teacher. She is a young woman recovering from her heartbreaking divorce. Sarah moved to New Bern, where Miles Ryan lives. When Miles was informed by Sarah that Jonah is having a hard time at school, that is when it there feelings toward each other sparked. Suddenly, they found themselves falling for each other in most special way. But what they are unaware is that they are not only bound to love each other but also by a shocking secret. It was a secret that could be bringing them apart.
I really like how the story of love and mystery was combined. I think by using the unknown character as the narrator is a really good style. How the narrator recalled his stories added sense to every chapter of the book. It was a good story to read, very satisfying. It is a well-created page-turner because of the mystery effect. The story was not that rough. It was very much written smoothly and neatly.
I really like how the story went on. It was written so simple yet it will make you think how the story will turn out whether they will end up together or will be parted forever. The most touching part was how Miles love a woman. He is funny when he is tongue-tied in front of Sarah, the typical kind of man who is head over heels in love, and when he found out that Sarah can not bear any children, he still accepted Sarah for she is and nothing changed. The part of the story where all the suspense and thrill were kept was when Miles found out that Brian, Sarah’s brother was the one responsible for the death of Missy. But the part about the Timsons lacked some story because it was not mentioned why the lawsuits for Miles were drawn back; for me, it is the only flaw in the story.
I was really moved by the ghost story of the two lighted candles on the haunted house which can only be seen by those who are truly in love with each other. Though it came from the tragic love story of Harris Presser and Kathryn Purdy, it still was a sweet story to tell. It was really nice that the ending was based on the story of the two lighted candles because that served as the sign that Miles is willing to love Sarah no matter what.
