No Teu Olhar

by Nicholas Sparks

Overview

Colin Hancock e jovem mas ja viveu mais violencia e abandono do que a maioria das pessoas. Foi perante o abismo que tomou a corajosa decis?o de comecar de novo. Agora, o emprego num restaurante da moda pode n?o o satisfazer, mas o sonho de se tornar professor parece cada vez mais perto de se concretizar. Dar as criancas o carinho e a atenc?o que ele proprio n?o teve e o seu grande e unico objetivo... mesmo que o preco a pagar seja a solid?o. Maria Sanchez tambem deseja, acima de tudo, uma vida calma. Filha de imigrantes mexicanos, aprendeu desde cedo o valor do trabalho arduo, da etica e da lealdade. Para ela, bastam-lhe o emprego num prestigiado escritorio de advogados e uma noite tranquila em casa para repor as energias. Nem a insistencia da sua irm? surte efeito. Com uma profiss?o t?o arriscada, Maria aprecia a seguranca que o isolamento lhe da. Colin e Maria n?o foram feitos um para o outro. Ele representa tudo aquilo que ela despreza, e o tipico meliante que ela esta habituada a ver atras das grades. E quando se cruzam numa noite de tempestade, o fosso que os separa e profundo e evidente. Mas, a partir desse momento fortuito, as suas vidas n?o voltar?o a ser as mesmas. Conseguir?o eles ver para alem das aparencias? Ler nos olhos do outro o que de mais profundo lhe vai na alma? Ceder a persistente memoria daquela noite?

About the Author

Ever since The Notebook made Nicholas Sparks a word-of-mouth publishing sensation in 1996, he has maintained his status as a bestselling author of tragedy-tinged love stories. His spare, simply themed novels star ordinary people overcome by extraordinary emotions, and changed by them.

It's possible that Sparks might have enjoyed his level of popularity by writing these stories strictly from imagination, but in fact his family's struggles play an important role in many of his books, especially the earliest novels. (For exampleThe Notebook, his tale of a great love affair extending into old age, was inspired by his wife's grandparents; Message in a Bottle drew from Sparks' father's life story and A Walk to Remember from his late sister's.) In addition, a three-week trip he and his older sibling Micah undertook in 2003 became the basis for Three Weeks with My Brother, a unique memoir as moving and tenderhearted as any of his fiction.

Sparks is very methodical about his writing, an approach he makes transparent on his web site with several essays, updates on works in progress, and notes on the mechanics of his novels. Unsurprisingly, critics have faulted him for being too formulaic or cliched. Still, Sparks never fails to move his stories along quickly, maximizing emotional impact and featuring strong, down-to-earth characters. His endings also tend to depart from convention a bit, revealing tragedy where the walk into the sunset should be.

Although he is often classified as a Romance writer, Sparks is quick to point out that his books don't really satisfy the requirements of Romance publishers. Instead, he admits to writing love stories, a different genre altogether. Whatever he cares to call them, one thing's for sure: Nicholas Sparks continues to strike gold with his bittersweet novels of love and loss.
