MONDAY, JANUARY 25, 1971 TERRACE HERALD, TERRACE, B.C. Love Stary by Erich Segal A bestseller now, this bool: is available in paperback on Terrace news stands, ’_ As the title suggests, it is a Love Story but a very deep and real one. “A lump forms in the throat and keeps on growing,” is the’ way- the New York Times describes the reader’s reaction to the story. The book is short, the “plot” is simple, the dialogue i is direct, And if you close the last page of the book without tears in your eyes, you are rare, Basically the book tells of a rich Harvard boy and a poor Radcliffe girl who fall in love and marry. And a monumental heart break strikes them, making their “Love Story” very real, With a plot like that, you Probably wonder how the book avoids being a sappy soap opera. For some reason it does. Maybe it's the dialogue. Maybe it’s the brevity of the story: Certainly it's Segal’s spare Style-—it seems every word in the book is essential to the story. There’s no padding, no wallowing in sentiment. “Love Story is a novel as uncluttered and direct as its title. It goes to the heart of the matter and stays there,”’ says the Kansas City Star Gayle . .Thody.
