About this ebook
'An era-defining romance' - Daily Mail
He is Oliver Barrett IV, a rich jock from a stuffy WASP family on his way to a Harvard degree and a career in law.
She is Jenny Cavilleri, a wisecracking working-class beauty studying music at Radcliffe.
Opposites in nearly every way. But they fell in love.
This is their story.
The record-breaking novel of the blockbusting movie, which became the number one box office hit of 1970, was nominated for 7 Academy Awards and was named one of the 100 most romantic films of all time by the American Film Institute.

'Beautifully written, profoundly moving' - Sunday Express
'A lump forms in the throat and starts growing until it feels like a football coming up sideways. You either fight it or let it out' - New York Times
'We loved it and we think you'll love it too' - Sun
'Incredible . . . A poignant novel of nostalgia and romance' - Washington Post

Not the kind of romance which makes you hold your pillow tight to your chest. Or the book that makes you read it again.
