Zeit im Wind / Das Schweigen des Glücks. Zwei große Liebesromane.
Doch das Unmögliche geschieht. Jamie stellt sich, während er, jetzt 57, in der Rückschau erzählt, als die größte Liebe seines Lebens heraus. Tragischer Weise ist ihr Glück nur von kurzer Dauer. Dann legen sich schwere dunkle Wolken über die Süße der zarten Regungen, wie sie nur die erste große Liebe kennt. Jamies unterschwellige Traurigkeit, die ihm schon öfter Rätsel aufgab, hat einen tragischen Namen. Jamie trägt ein entsetzliches Geheimnis mit sich herum.
Zeit im Wind ist die anrührende und mitreißende Geschichte einer besonderen Liebe zwischen zwei Teenagern, wie sie verschiedener nicht sein können. Ihr traumhafter Grad an Reinheit und Echtheit läßt Wunder geschehen und vermag, Berge zu versetzen. Sie ist mit ihren schwindelnden Höhen und grausigen Abgründen von der Art, wie man sie ein ganzes Leben nicht vergißt, während kein Bild der erinnerung jemals wirklich verblaßt.
Sparks erfrischender und ganz der Sprache siebzehnjähriger angepaßter Stil erinnert ein wenig an den Fänger im Roggen oder an Crazy. Doch ist der Inhalt ungleich tiefer, reflektierter, psychologisch gründlich durchdacht und der Handlungsbogen perfekter gespannt.
