Book Review of The Bridges of Madison County

The Bridges of Madison County
SGTBob avatar reviewed on + 156 more book reviews


A romantic story of a chance meeting of Robert Kinkaid and Francesca Johnson in the Winterset, Iowa area, while he was on assignment to take pictures of the seven covered bridges in the area.
He gets lost and cannot find the 7th bridge, and stops to ask for directions.
In the four days they are together, they fall in love and are forever longing for one another, but their love is a forbidden love that can never be.
I don't usually seek out romantic stories, but I'm glad I found this one.
Touching, cheer full, but yet sad. This book will bring out all of those emotions and more. Get it and read it.
By the way, I plan on visiting these same bridges the summer of 2015.
