Description

Message in a Bottle is one of Nicholas Sparks’ early and most enduring novels, written before his work became synonymous with film adaptations and mass-market editions. At its heart, it is a quiet, reflective story about grief, chance, and the human desire for connection.

The novel follows journalist Theresa Osborne, whose life is unexpectedly altered when she discovers a handwritten letter sealed in a bottle washed ashore. What begins as curiosity unfolds into an emotional journey shaped by love, loss, and the difficult work of opening one’s heart again.

This first edition offers readers the book as it originally appeared in 1998 — a well-made hardcover that will appeal both to longtime fans of Sparks’ work and to collectors who appreciate owning an author’s early first printings. It is equally suited for reading, gifting, or keeping as part of a thoughtful modern fiction collection.
