Resumo de The Bridges Of Madison County

DON?T READ THIS IF YOU HAVE NEVER BEEN IN LOVE. Do you know
the difference between the first and the last love? Well,
you think that the first is the last and the last is the
first. That doesn?t always happen???.?The Bridges of
Madison county?is the story of four days that change
forever the lives of two lonely people. Surprising but
true! I feel that even a lifetime is less to know a person
let alone love him/her. Robert Kincaid is a roving
photographer for National Geographic and Francesca Johnson
is a housewife whose marriage suffers from a lack of
romance. Francesca?s family is out of town when Kincaid
arrives on the scene, and they are instantly attracted.
They soon become lovers, and Kincaid asks Francesca to run
away with him, but she refuses. Francesca stays loyal to
her family and refrains from pursuing her dreams for her
family?s sake. (PERFECT WOMAN, isn?t she?) and what she is
left with eventually are memories of Kincaid.Initially,
neither Robert nor Francesca expects their random encounter
to lead to seduction, but the attraction between them is
obvious.Part of this novel is written in an epistolary
technique. Waller tells their story pretending as if he has
heard about Francesca from her children after her death,
read her journals, seen Robert?s relics of those four days
and interviewed a jazz musician who knew the photographer.
Scenes between the lovers are movingly evoked and moments
with Francesca, who celebrates her birthday 22 years later
by reflecting on her brief time with Robert, are
particularly poignant. It is an erotic, bittersweet tale of
lingering memories and forsaken possibilities.A lot is left
to the reader to imagine??. How you wish Kincaid and
Francesca to live happily ever after, but destiny had other
plans charted out for them. After Robert leaves Francesca,
she keeps track of him through his pictures in National
Geographic. After he dies, his ashes are scattered near the
bridge they photographed together, and she receives a box
of his personal effects. When she dies, she leaves them to
her children, along with three volumes of writing which
contain her story of their love. MY TAKE ON THIS:-This
story may sound pedestrian to the intellectual mind but if
there is any romantic piece of work that can be compared to
Romeo and Juliet it?s this book.Some people feel that this
book romanticizes infidelity. Its portrayal of Francesca?s
4 days of ?true love? with Robert is unrealistic and
irresponsible. If she was unhappy in her marriage, she
should have done something to save it or divorced??.A
question that I want to ask (not to Chaucer) but readers
the connotation and the implications of the term infidelity
and adultery. I am not nuts?. . Had the same love story
between Francesca and Kincaid bloomed before marriage then
people wouldn?t be nit picking about this masterpiece. Does
matrimony change persons feelings, emotions and mindset.
People?s perception changes, nothing else... This book is
not far from reality and is a must read .This is one of my
favorite books. Just read it and I assure you that you will
not be disappointed. Just keep one thing in mind and you
will fall in love with the book :-? Read it just as the
author has written it and not the way you want it to be?.
If you bring in your pre conceived notions about marriage,
love and relationships you will not be able to enjoy one of
the most exquisite and wonderfully written book. This book
leaves a lot of room for thought. Readers keep pondering
over the decision Francesca makes and its repercussions. I
have connected with the book in a way that doesn?t appeal
to all and is imponderable. (don?t stretch your imagination)
THIS IS DEDICATED TO ALL THOSE WHO HARP ABOUT THE CHASTITY
OF LOVE BEFORE MARRIAGE AND EQUATE IT WITH LUST THEREAFTER.
