Following the global success of Love Story, Erich Segal went on to write seven other romantic best sellers, and a charming and humorous children’s book.
Oliver Barrett IV found his true soulmate when he met and fell in love with Jenny Cavilleri. Their love was magical, exhilarating…though heartbreakingly brief, it was enough to last a lifetime. Or so Oliver told himself.
Oliver’s Story in Erich Segal’s own words
“I think it’s a much sadder book than the first…It’s the story of a boy coming to grips with a love that’s died. How do you go about getting back into life? How do you ask somebody out on a date after eight years?”
'Erich Segal has done it again. Mystery, sexual excitement and antagonism in the right mixture work their spell.'
St. Louis Globe'A very pleasurable and believable sequel to Love Story that every reader of the first book and every viewer of the film will enjoy.'
Publisher’s Weekly'Reading Oliver’s Story, you’ll forget everything else until you’ve finished the last page. What a rare storyteller.'
Detroit News'An expertly crafted novel that will delight the vast audience that enjoyed its predecessor.'
