WEEK 11....Nights in Rodanthe

This past weekend I got a new book from the library called Nights in Rodanthe by Nicholas Sparks. So far I have read 3 hours of the book. TOTAL TIME 39.5 HOURS. A woman named Adrienne was left by her husband for another woman after 16 years of marriage and three children..One weekend Adrienne's friend Jean needed someone to look after her Inn because she was at a wedding and a man named Paul was going to be staying there. But during that time a terrible storm was expected to pass through the town. Adrienne is recalling this story because her daughter lost her husband to cancer and she won't listen to anything she has to say because she lost her husband and loved him. Her mom and dad chose not to work out their problems. Adrienne thought telling her daughter this story may have her realize she lost love too. A little background on Paul. He too was divoriced. He was a surgeon who worked too much and was never around to help raise his son Mark. He hated his father. He moved to Ecuador to help treat medical patients. Paul was planning to go down there for a year to visit him, know him, and work out their problems.
Paul was in surgery one day removing a tumor from a woman. It was a standard procedure. Nothing went wrong, but the woman somehow died. The case went to court, but Paul was proven innocent. One day he got a letter from the woman's husband saying he needed to speak with him in person. After a few months of receiving the letter Paul decides to go where he stays at the Inn Adrienne is watching for her friend Jean.
At the Inn they make small talk, tell each other about their lives, etc. They develope a deep relationship and Adrienne is still depressed from her divorice this is what she needs to help her get over her Ex. Paul talks to the woman who died her husband. He talked about his wife and made Paul feel extremely guilty even though it was not his fault.
They were stuck in the storm for hours talking, drinking wine, and falling in love. In the book they have relations a couple times. But sadly the next day he is leaving for Ecuador. He says he'll stay with her, but she knows he has to go patch things up with his Son, which is what he does.
Paul wrote letters and called her frequently....as far as I got, we'll see what happens next.
