About this listen

 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 beloved, 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.

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 has a secret which threatens 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.

The new epic love story from the multi-million-copy bestselling author of The Notebook, The Lucky One and The Best of Me. Nicholas Sparks is one of the world's most beloved authors.©2013 Willow Holdings Inc 20th Century Contemporary Fiction Friendship Genre Fiction Historical Fiction Women's Fiction Heartfelt Romance

What made the experience of listening to The Longest Ride the most enjoyable?

Story, narrating, atmosphere, passion, love... All of it mixed together made this audiobook special. Great idea to give it to two narrators...although four would be even better.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Longest Ride?

The book is memorable all through. It is difficult not to pass any spoilers.

Which character – as performed by January LaVoy and Ron McLarty – was your favourite?

I just loved the old man.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Quite a few.

Any additional comments?

Recommended for anybody, who likes nicely flowing, non-violent memoir-like stories and who does not mind a bit of romance intertwined. Although the final twist was a bit predictable, it is actually what the reader/listener wishes for an end. I am happy I convinced myself to purchase this audiobook.

Sooo lovely book!
