Rohana asked Jojo Moyes:

This is not a question but an observation. Not sure if anyone's mentioned or noticed this but I though Louisa Clark's name was derived from "Clark Kent & Lois Lane" from Superman. Christopher Reeve, the actor who played the classic Superman, became a quadriplegic after an equestrian competition injury. When I was reading the book, I imagined the young and handsome Christopher Reeve as Will Traynor.

Jojo Moyes You're the second person to point this out to me, and I honestly hadn't made the connection. But it's an interesting one - I wonder if my subconscious picked up on it. One of my proudest moments after the book came out was when the Christopher Reeve Foundation said they supported the book - I did think that Christopher Reeve was the most extraordinary man and handled his life post injury with a rare grace.
