The Longest Ride
《最长的旅行》

【内容简介】

Two couples. Two love stories. One epic tale. Ninety-one-year-old Ira Levinson is in trouble. Struggling to stay conscious after a car crash, with his mind fading, an image of his adored - and long-dead - wife Ruth appears. Urging him to hang on, she lovingly recounts the joys and sorrows of their life together - how they met, the dark days of WWII and its unrelenting effect on their families.
两对夫妇。两个爱情故事。一段史诗传奇。91岁的艾拉·莱文森身处困境。他竭力在车祸后保持头脑清醒，但却慢慢丧失意识，甚至看见了去世多年的爱妻露丝回到他身边。他的妻子鼓励他要活下去，爱意盈盈地讲述他们曾经在一起的快乐与悲伤——他们初见时的浪漫情景、二战爆发时的黑暗年代、以及无情的战争对家庭造成的影响。

A few miles away, college student Sophia Danko's life is about to change. Recovering from a break-up, she meets the young, rugged Luke and is thrown into a world far removed from her privileged school life. Sophia sees a new and tantalising future for herself, but Luke is keeping a secret that could destroy it all.

Ira and Ruth. Sophia and Luke. Two couples, separated by years and experience, whose lives are about to converge in the most unexpected - and shocking - of ways.
艾拉和露丝、索菲和卢克，这两对情侣本该因年龄和阅历的差距而互无交集，但他们的生活却通过最出人意料、最震撼人心的方式融汇相通。

【读者评论】

This is a great story about true long lasting love, and about what's really important in life. I would strongly reccommend this book! It captures your attention throughout and pulls at your heart strings. I cant wait for the movie!
这是一本好书，告诉了我什么是长久真爱，生命中真正重要的是什么。我强烈推荐这部小说！从头到尾你都一直被它所吸引，任凭它拨动你的心弦。我现在都等不及要看由它改编的电影了！

This is the best of Nicholas Sparks since The Notebook! Oh course, I have read all his books and have seen all his movies --they are all great – however, I will say The Longest Ride is at the top of the list with The Notebook. What a beautifully written poignant love story and fell in love with all the characters (especially Luke).
这是尼古拉斯·斯帕克斯自《恋恋笔记本》之后最好的作品！当然我读过他所有的书，看过所有他作品改编的电影——虽然都很赞，但我还是要说只有《最长的旅行》才能和《恋恋笔记本》同登榜首。小说讲述了一个凄美的爱情故事，我爱上了所有的出场人物（尤其是卢克）。

Nicholas Sparks, I love you, and this book is only one of the reasons why. You always know how to write such a heartfelt love story that has me tearing up and smiling at the same time. This novel was a beautiful story that left me pondering on life and the value of love and family. If you have not read a Nicholas Sparks book, this would be a great one to start with.
我爱你，尼古拉斯·斯帕克斯！这本书是我爱你的唯一原因。你总是知道如何去写一个令人感同身受的爱情故事，能让我流着泪微笑。这部小说中的故事美丽动人，使我读后陷入沉思，对生命的沉思，对爱和家人拥有多少价值的沉思。如果你们还没读过尼古拉斯·斯帕克斯的作品，这一本将是个很棒的开始。
