Love Story

“Funny, touching and infused with wonder, as all love stories should be.” —San Francisco Examiner
The iconic tale of love and loss that has touched the hearts of millions, Love Story has become one of the most adored novels of our time. It has sold more than twenty-one million copies worldwide and became a blockbuster film starring Ryan O'Neal and Ali McGraw. It is the story that told the world, “Love means never having to say you’re sorry.” This special anniversary edition includes an introduction by the author's daughter, Francesca Segal.
This is the story of Oliver Barrett IV, a rich jock from a stuffy WASP family on his way to a Harvard degree and a career in law, and Jenny Cavilleri, a wisecracking working-class beauty studying music at Radcliffe.
Opposites in nearly every way, Oliver and Jenny are kindred spirits from vastly different worlds. Their attraction to each other is immediate and powerful, and together they share a love that defies everything.
This is their story—a story of two young people and a love so uncompromising it will bring joy to your heart and tears to your eyes.

    Cried buckets because I didn’t sleep trying to finish up 6 books in 2 days. 1 book was a digital marketing book that I sped through. Sorry. I cheated. 3 books in 12 hours. Slept 12 hours. The rest I finished within a time span of 24 hours. This was my last.

    Love the humor. The tensions between father and son. The irony of intelligence and ego.

    You have the jock. And the charming girl who everybody in the neighborhood knows.

    Rich guy with poor gal.

    They really play well together.

    Eventually, you see how things tie up and that makes this book one of those that has such an impact on you, you know it will haunt you when you visit Rhode Island.

    Certain things like V club, falling from a cliff.

    Falling from a cliff gave me the shivers.

    The word Oh used in so many places.

    How she is from a baking family... seems familiar.

    No this is not my first read. It is on favorites.

    But I never remembered the sad and tough part.

    I never do and never will.

    My mind has a knack of deleting things.

    This time it was super sad.

    And I know... and pray for all that have problems when it comes to illness...

    That God will be with us all.

    And that the world one day will be free of illness.

    No matter how impossible it may be...

    From now on...

    I will always believe the impossible.

    That I will continue the book with.

    “Surprise Preppie! Got you good.”

    “You sonavabitch! That kid better win the Super Bowl. You Bozo!”

Quotes

  • Елена Гордееваhas quoted6 years ago
    “A good piece. A really good piece.”
    That’s all Joel Fleishman, the senior editor, could repeat again and again. Frankly, I had expected a more articulate compliment from the guy who would next year clerk for Justice Douglas, but that’s all he kept saying as he checked over my final draft. Christ, Jenny had told me it was “incisive, intelligent and really well written

    And then I did what I had never done in his presence, much less in his arms. I cried.
