Our Last Spring (Paperback)

Paperback. In the early spring of April, Anna Harper, a lonely artist looking for purpose in her paintings, meets Ben Carter, a literature professor whose love of poetry brings words to life. A fortuitous meeting among cherry blossoms leads to a love that changes everything. Stolen kisses by the river, dances in secret gardens, and whispered visions of a future together all come together to make a beautiful tapestry of happiness. But Ben's terrible diagnosis of terminal brain cancer, with only a few months to live, shatters their perfect spring. Anna and Ben hold on to every moment as the petals fall. Their love becomes stronger in the face of death. They make memories that last longer than the ticking clock, from a trip to the country to quiet hours in Anna's studio. Their friendship is a protest against fate. Anna takes care of Ben, and her work is a link to their history. Ben writes poetry to express his feelings, leaving behind a record of their endless spring. When the time comes, Anna has to live in a world without Ben. His last words, "Wait for me," are a vow she keeps for decades while she lives, paints, and waits. Her paintings are a testament to their love, with each one telling a different part of their narrative and making people cry and feel hopeful. In her last moments, Anna wanders into an eternal meadow where Ben is waiting for her. Their love is renewed under a sky full of stars.Our Last Spring is a heartbreaking story of how love can last through joy, heartache, and the possibility of reunion. It shows how beautiful it is to connect with other people. This moving story has 10 chapters and will appeal to readers who adore love stories that last across time. It's great for fans of The Notebook and Me Before You. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.
