1.a)
I would like to tell you about a book, I had read last month called “A Bend in the Road” or in german “Weg der Träume” (Cover). This dramatic fiction came out in 2001 and was written by Nicholas Sparks.
1.b)
The american author was born in Nebraska in 1965. As a child, he lived in many differnet cities, however, today he has his home in North Carolina. There Nicholas Sparks lives with his wife Catherine and his five children, where he writes 2000 words at a day and read 125 books in one year.
Sparks’ novels are very famous in Germany as well as in other countries and so a lot of his novels are translated in different languages and get best sellers. Sparks is one of the most successful writers in the world. Some books like “A walk to remember” (Cover) were filmed with popular actors.

The novel “A Bend in the Road” deals with the subject true love, but a shocking secret endanger the love between the main characters Miles Ryan und Sarah Andrews. And I think the titel “A Bend in the Road” stand for this secret, whish suddenly changes their life.

The story begins with two of the main character 32- years old Miles Ryan und his 7-years old son Jonah. The majority of the story takes place in 1988. Miles wife, Missy Ryan, was killed at age 29 in a hit-and-run accident two years ago. Missy had been his first love. As a deputy sheriff in New Bern, North Carolina, Miles Ryan not only do his work, but also tries to bring the unknown driver to justice.

Sarah wants to help Jonah and so she sets up a parent-teacher conference. When the two adults meet there is a intensive attraction between them. After more dates they begin to fall in love and come closer and closer.

To find out, if Miles really jails Brian and what happened with Sarah and Miles after this tragic occurrence, read this book…

Now I want to read an extract to give you an idea of the book. I choose the extract from a book, in which the first person narrator is Brian and he confesses, that he was the hit-and-run driver.

3.
“A Bend in the Road” is an mystic story with a lot emotions, whish is a perfect composition. Over the whole book the reader don’t know, who kill Missy Ryan, and must speculate. This book is not my first novel from Nicholas Sparks. I also read “A walk to remember”, “The wedding” or “The Guardian”, because I like the special style of Nicholas Sparks – one of my favourite authors.
