' The Lucky One' is at its heart a romance novel, elevated however by Nicholas Sparks' persuasive storytelling. Readers don't read his books because they're true, but because they ought to be true.
Let us be true: this is the highest maxim of art and of life, the secret of eloquence and of virtue, and of all moral authority.

Success in any endeavor depends on the degree to which it is an expression of your true self.
Even modern English people are imperious, superior, ridden by class. All of the hypocrisy and the difficulties that are endemic in being British also make it an incredibly fertile place culturally. A brilliant place to live. Sad but true.
