Near and far - the journey of our life

Near and Far - The Journey of Our Lives is the tenth book by Nicholas Sparks , which he wrote for the first time with his brother Micah Sparks. The original edition was published in 2004 under the title Three Weeks With My Brother by Warner Books. The German-language broadcast by Adelheid Zöfel was published in 2005 under the title Nah und Fern. The journey of our life published by Heyne Verlag , Munich. In addition to an experience report, it is also an autobiography of the American writer.

On 479 pages, Sparks and his brother Micah Sparks describe the life of the family determined by blows of fate. An important aspect of the book is the way of dealing with death , which accompanied the brothers throughout their lives. The far too early death of the parents is described sensitively and close to people. The agonizing process of her sister Dana, who died of a brain tumor at the age of only 33, is particularly tragic.
