I gave up after only 47 pages, after losing interest in anything the main character had to think or say. "Michael", the main character, comes across as a self-centered, self-important, condescending, snobbish intellectual who must endure all the ordinary people who surround him. Blech!
A tastefully written about an intense love... and a man's search to the other side of the world, for the woman he knew he must find. You won't be able to lay this one down until you reach its end. HIGHLY recommended!
If your looking for a quick summer read...this is it!!!
This is a wonderful and different kind of romance story. The characters are so vivid, and their connections is so obvious even from the beginning. I had a hard time putting it down. Wonderful read. Not your typical love story but great none the less. I found the inclusion of India culture to be an interesting addition. I am looking forward to reading more by Mr. Waller.
"It was attraction at first sight between this maverick, middle aged economics professor who still rode his beloved motorcycle from his teenage years and the introspective, dark-haired wife of a new colleague. It called forth feelings that wouldn't disappear. It forced two people to come to terms with their lives in ways they hadn't imagined and it led them both into the magical places only lovers know. But it also brought with it the pain of choices and loss."

This book does not have a jacket. It is in pristine shape.
If you enjoyed Bridges of Madison County, you'll like this one too!
