The Wish

De: Nicholas Sparks

Narrado por: Mela Lee, Nicholas Sparks, Will Collyer

Includes an exclusive introduction from the author.

The international number one best-selling author of The Notebook, Nicholas Sparks, is back with his most epic story yet.

What if the person you needed most turned up when you least expected them?

Maggie hasn't told this story in years. More than two decades ago, she fell in love. She was 16 and far from home, waiting to give her baby up for adoption. Bryce showed Maggie how to take photographs, and he didn't judge her for the way her belly swelled under her jumper. They had the perfect first kiss. Theirs was a once-in-a-lifetime kind of love.

Now, as Maggie sits by the Christmas tree in her gallery telling her story, surrounded by the photographs that made her famous - the photographs Bryce never saw - her new gallery assistant asks her a question. If she had one wish, what would she wish for this Christmas?

Maggie always thought she knew the answer to that question. But before she can say 'I'd go back to that winter with Bryce', she stops herself. It is all she has ever wanted, but, suddenly, here, on this dark night under the twinkling stars, there is something else she wants. She wants to find her baby.

A heart-wrenching and uplifting story about discovery and loss, The Wish is a reminder that time with those precious to us is the greatest gift of all.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"This one won't leave a dry eye." (Daily Mirror)

"A fiercely romantic and touching tale." (Heat)

"An A-grade romantic read." (OK!)

Mundane! WTF with all the 5 stars reviews

Expectations were high when I purchased this book, being familiar with Nicholas Sparks books. The first thing that caught my attention was the lack of characterization of Baby Daddy and the event surrounding that part of the plot. The middle of the book was bogged down in mundane details. Maggie washes dishes, Maggie rides the ferry, Maggie washes more dishes, Maggie takes another photo or two. Then Bryce. Then Mark. Then the choices she makes again. All very predicable. Very disappointing listen. I did finish it because the other people raved about it. Not sure what I missed but it seems Mr. Sparks suddenly wanted it to be over and it was. Boom. Cannot say anything else without spoiling it for someone who has not finished it.

Mela Lee and Will Collyer were just OK with the delivery of a boring story
