The Bridges of Madison County is a film made in 1995, which is based on this book and recommended by a friend. I had heard a lot of good things about it and as usual I wanted to read the book first before watching the movie...so picked this up
This isn't a kind of book I would normally read. It's a sad love story and a very short one but packed with full of emotions & extremely touching...I absolutely loved reading it. It is supposed to be a true love story between Francesca and Robert Kincaid, set in the state of Iowa. Robert is a small town photographer who visits Madison county to photograph the covered bridges. He meets Francesca, a farm wife there whose husband/children are away from the town. They instantaneously fall in love and the story unfolds based on the brief affair between them during those 4 days. Though the love between Francesca and Robert seems very idealistic and flowery, it still is very compelling and doesnt fail to impress you. It may not be the best written book - but it is quite a good read! I am waiting to get my hands on the movie...

I may just give this book a try...The movie is sweet & Meryl Streep is quite good in it, though Clint Eastwood seems out of place. I've heard that it's a rather flowery, syrupy novel, but all romance novels tend to be anyway. That's what makes them fun :oD
I've stumbled on your blog & am enjoying reading it. Keep up the great work & I'll be following :o)
