"Love Story"
This a romantic novel. The story of
Jenny and Ollie is a story of two young people who come from two separate
worlds and are joined together in the unlikeliest of ways. Upon graduation from
college, the two decide to marry, against the wishes of Oliver's father, who
promptly severs all ties with his son. Without financial support, the couple
struggles to pay Oliver's way through Harvard's Law School, with Jenny working
as a private school teacher. Graduating third in his class, Oliver gets several
job offers and takes up a position at a respectable New York law firm. Jenny
promises to follow Oliver anywhere on the East Coast. The couple move to New
York City, excited to spend more time together, rather than working and
studying. With Oliver's new income, the pair decide to have a child. After
Jenny fails to conceive, they consult a medical specialist, who after repeated
tests, informs Oliver and Jenny that Jenny is suffering from leukemia and will
not be able to live longer than a few months.
As instructed by his doctor, Oliver attempts
to live a normal life without telling Jenny of her condition. Jenny
nevertheless discovers her ailment after confronting her doctor about her
recent illness. With their days together numbered, Jenny begins a costly cancer
therapy, and Oliver soon becomes unable to afford the multiplying hospital
expenses. Desperate, he seeks financial relief from his father. Instead of
telling his father what the money is truly for, Oliver misleads him. From her
hospital bed, Jenny speaks with her father about funeral arrangements, and then
asks for Oliver. She tells him to avoid blaming himself, and asks him to
embrace her tightly before she dies. When Mr. Barrett realizes that Jenny is
ill and that his son borrowed the money for her, he immediately sets out for New
York. By the time he reaches the hospital, Jenny dies. Mr. Barrett
apologizes to his son, who replies with something Jenny had once told him:
"Love means not ever having to say you're sorry..." and breaks down
in his arms.
