Message in a bottle

A detailed Summary of Message in a bottle


Message in a Bottle, by Nathan Sparks is a romantic tragedy. It teaches the powerful lesson that life can and must go on no matter how terrible the grief and gives all hopeless romantics hope that true love does in fact exist.

The novel first takes place in Cape Cod Bay where Theresa is on vacation from her home in Boston. It is in Cape Cod Bay that Theresa finds the first of three letters. Further south along the Atlantic coast is the town of Wilmington, North Carolina. Garret, the man writing the intense love letters, lives here. Both Boston and Wilmington have access to the ocean; however, they are uniquely different from each other. This separation and difference in locations is one the biggest conflicts in the novel.

Theresa Osborne is a thirty-six year old single mother of a twelve-year-old boy. She has given up on the thought of true love after she discovers her hus


bands 2 year long affair. That is, until she finds the letters. The letters to her are proof that true love does exist and it gives her hope that she will someday soon experience it. Garret Blake is a handsome man in his late thirties who was, at one time, a very happy, very alive man. When the life of his wife is taken, he gives up on love and happiness, and lives his life alone and depressed. He writes the letters to his late wife and sends them out to sea for her. When he meets Theresa he is given hope of true love again and begins to his life.

This novel is a great love story, however, it is missing the fairy tale ending. Though it leaves you feeling somewhat depressed and angered that is how love sometimes is. This novel is not for those who loved Cinderella and expect the same "happily ever after", but for those who are aware that love is somewhat unexpected, unpredictable and painful yet
