I loved this book. A great tale of a love affair lasting only a short time, but leaving memories with two people that lasted a life time.

This is the story of a traveling photographer and a hard working & content farm wife who cross paths when he is on her street and asks her for directions. She is alone from her loving family for several days and they become extremely intrigued with eachother, and they quickly let their guards down and fall deeply in love. It's a story of unattainable love. It is a beautiful romance story that will have you laughing, smiling, and in tears!!

This is book is a fast read, a book you can take at the beach. I've seen the film version of this book, and of course the book is so much better.

My copy that is listed has the proper ISBN but is not a hardcover but an oversized softcover. Easy reading and a lovely story. Made into a major motion picture starring Meryl Streep and Clint Eastwood.

Sarah W. (I felt that this book was a generational/age appropriate book. It was good but I can see it hitting a woman older and in a marriage right on. I am neither of those. It wasn't what I expected it to be and thought that it would have been more detailed about their time together. Wasn't bad, wasn't great.
This book touched my heart, and made me cry. I think we all have some connection with it somehow, all of the "what if's" of life. It reads quickly, a book I will keep on the shelf forever.
Mary W. a timeless classic excellently written about a forbidden love. the author paints beautiful word pictures and you can almost imagine you're there.
Oh how I loved this book! It was such a "strong" story. I boo hoo'ed through the book, but it was a good boo hoo-- you'll love this book.
Barbara S. (I remember the first time I read "The Bridges of Madison County" and how it kept me up until late into the night just so I could finish it in one sitting. Having read it at least twice more, it is still as beautiful and poignant as it was that first time.
The love story between these two strangers that touched the rest of their lives is one of the best. Quite a quick read and such a beautiful story that will stay with you for a long time to come.
While I've never seen the movie (though have heard wonderful things about it) this book remains one of my favorite love stories. I read it at a young age but still loved the poignancy of it.
Emilie M. (Supposed to have been an excellent movie and a really good book, but I just couldn't get into it - so I have not read this book. Hope someone else will like it.
Beautifully written book, but I think the movie was better though. Finished it in one day, and cried, and cried, and cried. Don't we all wish to feel this way????
