September 11 changes your characters’ lives. Both the film and the novel explore what it means to love another. It’s one of my favorite films, and for those who read the novel to its conclusion-it’s easy to see the parallels between the two. Was that the case with Dear John ? Actually, the novel was inspired by the movie Casablanca. Several of your previous novels were inspired by your family’s experiences. But I do know people who have received them. Have you ever received a Dear John letter? Sparks took the time to answer our questions about love and heartbreak from his home in North Carolina, where he lives with his wife, Catherine, and their five children. When their long separation proves too much for Savannah to bear, John receives a tear-stained letter and eventually returns home to find her married to someone else. John and Savannah are biding their time until the end of John’s tour of duty, when he’ll be free to leave the Army so they can truly be together but the events of 9/11 convince John that it’s his duty to re-enlist. His 11th novel, Dear John, follows two star-crossed lovers wholesome Savannah Lynn Curtis and soldier John Tyree who face life-altering decisions when love and honor intersect. Nicholas Sparks has been the undisputed master of the modern-day love story since the 1996 publication of his debut, The Notebook.
