| Plot Summary of The Bridges of Madison County |
|---|
"Photographer Robert Kincaid meets Iowa farm wife Francesca Johnson while looking for the famous bridges. Her family is away, and the two discover an uncommon passion between them--one that cannot be denied or completely fulfilled. A haunting, lyrically written novel that became one of the most read and reread books in the 1990s."
Deanna, Resident Scholar

"One of my favourite books. Heartbreaking forbidden love."
Traci Leanne Bell, Resident Scholar

"Francesca is looking for romance and passion that she had when she was first married. She finds it with someone else, who she feels connected to in a way she's never felt before. They have a chemistry together right off and you can see it in their eyes whenever they look at each other. "
