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.

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...
評分我们永远都无法预料,自己生命中的那个人会在哪一天来到我们的身边,运气不好的,一辈子寻找,一辈子等待,却永远无法相见。 厦门大学广播电台自由音乐节目——《廊桥遗梦》专题 http://xmubs.xmu.edu.cn/thematic/ShowInfo.asp?InfoID=788 欢迎指点批评~
評分《廊桥遗梦》这本书看了一遍又一遍,每次看都让我要不哭一通,要不心里憋的慌,堵很久。后来好久都没有再看。前一阵方大同的《nothing gonna changes my love for you》很火,让我就又想起了它。于是熬夜又读了一遍。 想起来原来的每次难受都是因为它让你感到了共鸣,每个人心...
評分突然发现Francesca和Robert仅仅在一起四天…… 会不会就恰恰因为他们在一起的时间太短,所以留给彼此的都只是最美最好的东西,所以才有了26年的苦苦想念。我想,如果他们一直在一起呢?每个人都是有缺点的,他们真的会高尚到忽略对方的缺点完全地接纳吗?我不能确定。...

這個寒假最早讀完的原版書 因為實在…… 以我CET-6都不敢查分的英語水平也覺得很簡單的 想入門原版書的可以參考。因為是原版所以感受也很微妙又直接 不否認是位油菜花的作者 很多構詞造句排列都很有靈性 但無奈故事真是太一般瞭 要把一夜情寫成200多頁也著實不易 所以不免贅疣的過多細節。然後中文版就盡量彆讀瞭 應該會更沒養分吧 哎 有可能是我內心不夠豐富吧 覺得這麼個小破故事真心對不起序言裏說的“治好瞭他對於愛情的偏見”……
评分一直看是這個版本!!!
评分很小一本書。都說電影改編的好,但是看著小說卻哭瞭。想聽那首Francesca。
评分動人的愛情,相互守望,超越一切
评分聽說此書剛齣版時,在美國中年夫妻中引起瞭一個離婚的風潮。禦嬸都去追求自己的春天瞭。但又有幾個人,能真正遇上所謂的“懂你到靈魂深處”的人呢? 本書文筆略帶憂傷的基調,風韻猶存的禦姐,小清新的大叔(素食,攝影,流浪),深沉但剋製的愛,都是這本書吸引人的地方。肉欲部分的描寫挺不錯,剋製而不內斂,到位而不色情。
