FROM AMAZON: Adrienne Willis is 45 and has been divorced for three years, abandoned by her husband for a younger woman. The trials of raising her teenage children and caring for her sick father have worn her down, but at the request of a friend and in hopes of respite, she's gone to the coastal village of Rodanthe in North Carolina to tend the local inn for the weekend. With a major storm brewing, the time away doesn't look promising...until a guest named Paul Flanner arrives.

At 54, Paul is a successful surgeon, but in the previous six months his life has unraveled into something he doesn't recognize. Estranged from his son and recently divorced, he's sold his practice and his home and has journeyed to this isolated town in hopes of closing a painful chapter in his past. Adrienne and Paul come together as the storm brews over Rodanthe, but what begins between them over the weekend will resonate throughout the rest of their lives, intertwining past and future, love and loss.

Bajo la tempestad reencontraron el goce de vivir. A sus sesenta años, Adrienne recuerda la historia de amor que vivió hace quince años, cuando su marido la abandonó por otra y ella decidió hacerse cargo de un pequeño hotel en un pueblo de la costa. Allí, Adrienne trabó amistad con un prestigioso cirujano que se alojó en el hotel para saldar sus cuentas del pasado. Mientras una terrible tormenta se ceñía sobre la población, ambos compartieron un fin de semana en el que redescubrieron lo que eran sus vidas y lo que podrían llegar a ser.

Saw the movie a long time ago and loved it. Had a chance to borrow audio book and this also was very good. ( )

Liked the way that Adrienne came up with telling her past to get her daughter out of her slump. Could not understand why a week-end affair - which is what it was - made her unable to connect with another man ever. Yes it also got Adrienne to realize her life could go on but couldn't it continue as more than just mom taking care of her family. Agreed that Paul had to go to his son. Did not like that beauty/looks was stressed so much. ( )
