It's a story of extremes - extreme sports and extreme emotions. Tim Winton is Australia's best-loved novelist.

Kindred Spirit What's interesting to note is that though Tru and Hope are fictional characters, the story is inspired from a real-life mailbox 'Kindred Spirit' which is located on a secluded part of Sunset Beach in North Carolina, where people have left their love-letters for many years for others to read and share.

The Notebook was a hardcover best seller for more than a year. In interviews, Sparks said he was inspired to write the novel by the story of his wife's grandparents, who had been married for more than 60 years when he met them.
