What is it in a story that takes it to the New York Times Best Seller List for three years or 156 weeks? When I read this book, that was what I wanted to know. I look at the book on the shelf and think, "What was there that I just did not get?"
The love story set in the 1960s is about Robert Kincaid, a renowned photographer, and a Francesca Johnson, a farm wife. The story is based on her diaries and the personal effects he had sent to her after he died.
She is secluded and alone much of the time. When Robert comes to photograph the bridges, her family is away at the state fair. They are, like Romeo and Juliet, star-crossed lovers who will only remain in each other's hearts and minds for all of their life, though they only shared four days. Her diaries indicate that for about thirty years Francesca maintained the emotional contact she committed to Kincaid by seeing his photography in National Geography, news clippings, and reading the articles written about him.
It is easy to be in love for four days. Anyone can. New love is exciting, romance is thrilling, and a new lover's touch is magical. Yes, it will last forever -- if you do not have to wake up to reality. It was simple to see this aspect of the enchantment about their story. Francesca wrote of the agony that she felt when choosing whether to go with Kincaid or stay with her family, her children. This was the crux of her story; stay with her husband and children, or run off with a stranger.
I could never understand that, my child is first. Today the book is on my daughter's shelf, and she knows more about the emotions that drove Kincaid and Francesca than I ever will. I am too practical; but she tells me I have never loved as they did -- and she just might be right because I still wonder why this book sold millions. Suspend disbelief and enjoy the romantic interlude.
Perhaps I should have seen the movie (I am a Clint Eastwood fan). For me the book was worth three stars, but the millions of people who loved this book and movie cannot all be wrong, so it must be a five. I guess I will give it a four.

四天,能干什么?相对于上帝的创世纪,四天工期太紧,所以,只能小规模一些,成就一段荡气回肠的爱情——《廊桥遗梦》。在赞美这个始乱终不乱、在不道德的路线上旗帜鲜明的维护道德的非典型婚外恋之前,我觉得首先应该对故事中伟大的丈夫理查德先生致意诚挚的感谢和良好的祝愿...
评分现在又是重温老书的时候,在吊点滴过程中避静的方式 糟糕的印刷质量错字百出,纸质不如卫生纸的盗版.. 还是说内容吧~ 这样的机率极难出现,恰到好处的时候两人相遇了 让人相信上帝确实存在,是他的手才能奇妙地让这二个人互相走近 互相契合在一起,无与伦比的默契和合拍 之前所经历...
评分每个人都希望爱情是轰轰烈烈的证明,其实更多时候,却事与愿违。 可能在未来某一刻,就会遇到让你怦然心动的那个人,那时你心底眼底都是他,想到他时心头微甜。 《廊桥遗梦》向我们展示,不是所有的爱情都可以摆脱环境的束缚,或许也包括心境等等原因,但是短暂的相聚已经是永...
评分如果不是最后关于婚姻责任的叙述,简直就是一本三流言情小说。 可能很多人都像弗朗西斯卡一样,到了该结婚的年龄,随便的找一个人嫁了,然后两个人因为长期的相处,他所有的一切在你的眼里都变的世俗,让你讨厌,觉得沉闷。一个陌生人来了,说了几句装13的话,让你觉得高...
评分这是一本非常薄的小书、故事简单而流畅。故事美、文字也美,翻译得非常好--好的故事要有好的文字来配。 迄今为止,我还记得十年前第一次读到这个故事的情形-- 中午时分,在食堂,我一边将饭菜放到嘴中,一边读它。然后走到洗碗池前,刷洗着、眼泪就大滴大滴落下来。 同学看...
累死我,连猜带蒙的看完了全本,我的第一本英文原著,后来看的还是比较轻松。又去看了电影,看看自己遗漏了什么。我尽力理解我所能理解的,从来爱情没有定义,没有什么的样的情感是对的,或者错的,也没有什么应该的。每个人都会做出不同选择,所要做的就是尊重这种情感,尊重爱情在人类情感中的伟大。
评分老外可真是爱写婚外恋的故事
评分电影还是相当不错的
评分很小一本书。都说电影改编的好,但是看着小说却哭了。想听那首Francesca。
评分我觉得,这本书如果从爱情本身来读,并不是特别有意思;有意思在于对于人物的宇宙般的描述,的确很动人,具有无穷的美感。
