Review by Sukey Howard

The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks is not seasonal in any sense, it's the kind of love story that tugs hard on your emotions and makes you cry whether it's Christmas or July.

Noah, now an old man in a nursing home, visits an old woman suffering from Alzheimer's every day. He goes to her room with his precious notebook and reads her the story of two people who fell in love, who were separated for years, but who overcame the odds. And every day he hopes for the miracle that will bring back her memory of that enduring and powerful love.

Kate Nelligan and Campbell Scott perform with skill and compassion.
