I read this book soon after it was available in the library. The previous reader was a smoker and a heavy one at that by the putrid fragrance wafeing from every page. But, then something took over...the story of a lonely woman whose hormones were still working. Something I could ID with. The quaint Iowa setting does still exist in remote areas where one can leave the front door unlocked at night. The relationship between the couple was flowing and free. Very easy to follow with the sexual tension building to a crechendo...I held my breath as my eyes couldn't keep up with my comprehension of what I was reading! After the wordsn stopped and there were no more pages to turn I thought,"what a story!". It was a real shame when the actual bridge was set on fire by some sicko, but the book still remains in multiple copies for those of us who still desire some romance in a simle setting of rural America.

Bridges of Madison County is actually a true love story of Robert Kincaid, a professional photographer from Seattle, Washington. It takes you through the real life emotions of living and loving for you. The love in this story is truly amazing and makes me believe in love again.

This is my favorite movie. Not many people are fortunate to have a once in a lifetime love, I was lucky enough to find a love like theirs and we took the chance and got to keep it for 23 years until cancer took him last year. He happened to look like Clint Eastwood so when I want to remember how he would talk with his eyes and how his hair lays etc I just pop in the movie I decided I needed the book and this is the first book/movie that is so true to each other without a bunch of changes. The book stays next to my bed on the nightstand and I pick it up now and then and just reread a few pages. What a great love story. It makes me remember how lucky I was to have that true love where you are really no longer two people but one. Thanks for a great book....
I read this book long time ago when it came out in the early 90's. I read it in one sitting read it in 1 day without stopping it was that incredible. It's the only book I wouldn't mind reading it again. The movie was a complete flop it does not come close to this book.

Francesca Johnson, lived an ordinary life. She missed her family in Italy, yet seemed content with life on a Iowa farm with her family. Until Kincaid walked into her life. The love story of Franscesca and Kincaid is one of the most tender true love stories I have ever read. They met at a very vulnerable time in their life, not expecting to find true love. It was innocent, yet forbidden, yet the strongest love they had ever found. Yet, they both knew, it couldn't last. ALthough they would love each other always, it was a love that was forbidden. Their relationship lasted only a short time, yet their love for each other lasted forever.
Wonderful quick read. If you are looking for a love story than this is the one for you. After finishing the book you will want more and more. Get it as you will not be disappointed.

This is a great book with a great story line --- the movie by the some name follows the book story line exactly --- the movie is a must see after reading the book or vice versa (movie acting is superb starring Clint Eastwood and Meryl Streep and directed by Eastwood) --- the covered bridges in Iowa are very famous and two out of the seven remaining bridges are featured in the book and movie, the most famous being the Roseman Bridge --- the setting is a farm house located in Madison Co. along with the two bridges and the nearby town of Winterset, Iowa.--- I highly recommend reading the book and viewing the movie!
