Plot
The story starts with an old man reading from a notebook to an old woman in nursing home.
The notebook he is reading from belongs to the woman. Noah, the old man and Alli has a past together that Alli can not remember because of her Alzheimer.
He was reading for her every day and she could not remember and if she did it would have been a miracle.
So, the book is focused on the love invelopment between the two. Noah fell in love with Alli at the first sight, but it was hard for them to just to get together.
Alli is from a rich family and Noah is not. When it comes to her parents, they did not want her to get married with such a poor man.
Later when Alli and her parents move to New York, they make her get married to a man of their class and she can not do anything about it.
After 14 years apart Alli and Noah will see each other again. One day Alli sees Noah on the newspaper, he has built a house from the start.
Alli remembers that Noah had promised her to build that house and that they would live happy together there.
Alli goes back to Noah and she spend two nights with him in the house he builds. At this point Alli must choose between her fiancé and Noah.
At the end of the book, we go back to the nursing home and there Noah tried to get Alli's memory back and he manages to get her memory back.
We then immediately read that they slept in bed together and died together. The end was a bit unclear because we didn’t find out what happened after the time when Alli chose to stay with Noah.
