Sinopsis

Condición del ejemplar: Acceptable. Some love stories last a lifetime, even when they last only four days. August 1965. Robert Kincaid, a photographer and self-described last cowboy, is traveling the back roads of Iowa to photograph the old covered bridges of Madison County for a magazine assignment. Francesca Johnson, who came to America from Italy as a young war bride, is spending a rare week alone on her farm while her husband and children attend the state fair. A simple request for directions brings him to her door, and her offer to show him the way to Roseman Bridge begins a brief, intense connection that neither of them will ever forget. Years later, Francesca’s grown son and daughter discover her letters and journals and learn, for the first time, the story of the man and the choice that shaped their mother’s life. Spare, lyrical and deeply romantic, Robert James Waller’s novel became one of the bestselling books of its decade and was adapted into the celebrated film starring Clint Eastwood and Meryl Streep. A quietly powerful story about passion, duty and the roads not taken, it continues to move readers around the world.
