Remain

A Supernatural Love Story

De: Nicholas Sparks, M. Night Shyamalan

Narrado por: Ari Fliakos, Julia Whelan, Nicholas Sparks

A one-of-a-kind novel that grapples with the supernatural mysteries of life, death, and human connection—an unprecedented collaboration between the globally bestselling author of love stories like The Notebook and the renowned writer and director of blockbuster thrillers like The Sixth Sense

When New York architect Tate Donovan arrives in Cape Cod to design his best friend’s summer home, he is hoping to make a fresh start. Recently discharged from an upscale psychiatric facility where he was treated for acute depression, he is still wrestling with the pain of losing his beloved sister. Sylvia’s deathbed revelation—that she can see spirits who are still tethered to the living world, a gift that runs in their family—sits uneasily with Tate, who struggles to believe in more than what reason can explain. But when he takes up residence at a historic bed-and-breakfast on the Cape, he encounters a beautiful young woman named Wren who will challenge every assumption he has about his logical and controlled world.

Tate and Wren find themselves forging an immediate connection, one that neither has ever experienced before. But Tate gradually discovers that below the surface of Wren’s idyllic small-town life, hatred, jealousy, and greed are festering, threatening their fragile relationship just as it begins to blossom. Tate realizes that in order to free Wren from an increasingly desperate fate, he will need to unearth the truth about her past before time runs out...a quest that will make him doubt whether we can ever believe the stories we tell about ourselves, and the laws that govern our existence. Love—while transformative—can sometimes be frightening.

A story about the power of transcendent emotion, Remain asks us all: Can love set us free not only from our greatest sorrows, but even from the boundaries of life and death?

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Bestseller Sparks (The Notebook) and filmmaker Shyamalan (The Sixth Sense) combine their talents to create a paranormal love story that makes suspension of disbelief easy through thoughtful characterization. . . . The mystery chugs along nicely but the romance is the stronger plot, and the authors deserve credit for making the relationship between the living and the dead moving. Fans of both authors will not be disappointed.”—Publishers Weekly

“The blending of bestselling novelist Sparks’ signature romance with renowned film director Shyamalan’s supernatural touches is brilliant. . . . This mysterious and moving love story will attract legions of eager readers.”—Booklist, starred review

Wow! Yes!

This book was well needed! My fave author and fave director. What more do you need! Loved so much- details. Mr.Sparks is back ! Great read.

Love Transcends Death

I have always loved Nicholas Sparks books because they are stories that have romance that are built from some kind of tragedy. I'm a big horror/thriller fan and was excited to see these two unite on this book. I can't wait to see the movie.

I traveled to New Bern in 2021 in the hopes of seeing the place where it all happens. I was so excited to finally meet him recently in LA with the release of this book. Our meeting was very brief but told him I was enjoying the new book. Thank you so very much for sharing your stories with the world! ✨️

What A Surprise!

I slipped into my comfort zone ready for a usual Nicholas Sparks read. After chapter four I was hooked! Having never read supernatural, I whinced, then fell in love with the story as I recognized the rhythm of N. Sparks.

A perfect combo of authors for a beautiful, otherworldly story

I couldn’t stop listening as soon as I started. A beautiful love story from Sparks perfectly blended with Shyamalan characters. Happy that these worlds collide.

Interesting pairing of authors

Love Hope and Friendships all rolled up in a beautiful story involving a small town murder, betrayal, and a cat.

how love can heal pain

I loved all the book, it is very entertaining. it is like I have never read a book like this one. thank

très intéressant

Différent, rafraîchissant et profond, faire une pause et réfléchir à l'amour passé et futur offre une perspective intéressante sur l'espoir de la vie après la mort.

The impossible love

Story was moving, and kept you guessing how this could work.
A few twists and turns kept it intriguing to the end.

The collab we didn't know we needed

I DEVOURED this one. Admittedly, I'm a huge fan of M. Night's movies but not the biggest fan of Nicholas Sparks. However, this collab was one I didn't know I needed. Romance, mystery, murder, paranormal activity, spooky. Sprinkle in a narration by Julia Whelan and you have 🤌.

Love

Loved everything about this book! Do more together!!! I would love to read more of the same from both of you!
