      Gwendolyn a-t-elle jamais été une lycéenne comme les autres ? Pour son premier vrai chagrin d'amour, en tout cas, elle aimerait bien faire comme toutes ses copines : pleurer des heures au téléphone et se gaver de chocolats. Mais pas question, les Veilleurs du temps ont besoin d'elle. Pire, c'est avec Gideon lui-même, celui qui lui a brisé le coeur, qu'elle doit repartir en plein XVIIIe siècle, affronter un drôle de comte, soi-disant immortel. Plus question de pleurer, il faut agir !

      When Nicholas Sparks publishes his first Christmas novel, it promises to be special. What if the person you needed most appeared when you least expected them? In this epic story, Maggie reflects on a love she experienced over two decades ago. At sixteen, waiting to give her baby up for adoption, she fell for Bryce, who taught her photography and accepted her without judgment. Their first kiss was magical, marking a once-in-a-lifetime love. Now, as Maggie sits by the Christmas tree in her gallery, surrounded by photographs that shaped her career—photos Bryce never saw—her new assistant poses a poignant question: if she could wish for anything this Christmas, what would it be? Maggie has always thought she knew her answer: to return to that winter with Bryce. However, on this starry night, she realizes there’s something else she desires more deeply—finding her baby. This heart-wrenching yet uplifting tale explores themes of discovery and loss, reminding us that time with loved ones is the greatest gift of all. Praise for Sparks highlights the emotional impact of his storytelling, ensuring readers will be moved by this touching narrative.

      In January 2003 Nicholas Sparks and his brother Micah set off on a three-week trip around the world. An adventure by any measure, this trip was especially meaningful as it marked another milestone in the life journey of two brothers who, by their early thirties, were the only surviving members of their family. As Nicholas and Micah travel the globe, from the Taj Mahal to Machu Picchu, the story of their family slowly unfolds. Just before Nicholas' marriage he and Micah lost their mother in a horseriding accident; a week short of Nicholas's triumphant debut as a novelist with THE NOTEBOOK, the brothers lost their father to a car crash, and just a few short years later they were forced to say goodbye to their sister who died of brain cancer at the young age of 36. Against the backdrop of the main wonders of the world the brothers come together to heal the wounds of this tragic legacy and maintain their determination to live life to its fullest.
