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.

下午看病生看不下去了, 我又认认真真地翻了一遍廊桥遗梦 我记得一年前当我读完这本书,心里是无法克制住的一种近乎歇斯底里的感觉——觉得罗伯特给她的爱好完整,互不打扰的两个人却在心里偷偷地疯狂地爱着对方。 时隔一年,这些文字依旧让我几次眼泪决堤 但我开始觉得,...
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...
评分十年前写的,现在看,恍如隔世. ---------------- 引子 我不幸生活在一个无聊的时代里,我这样说是因为每天都有无聊的事发生。 比如,升了官就会腐化,成了大款就会包二奶,结了婚就会发生婚外恋等等,总之每天都有无聊的事发生,我生活的时代不是个无聊的时代又会是什...
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。...
as a matter of fact i just couldn't believe this kind of once-in-a-lifetime "true love". 应该很好诠释了王菲那首《不留》。
评分这个寒假最早读完的原版书 因为实在…… 以我CET-6都不敢查分的英语水平也觉得很简单的 想入门原版书的可以参考。因为是原版所以感受也很微妙又直接 不否认是位油菜花的作者 很多构词造句排列都很有灵性 但无奈故事真是太一般了 要把一夜情写成200多页也着实不易 所以不免赘疣的过多细节。然后中文版就尽量别读了 应该会更没养分吧 哎 有可能是我内心不够丰富吧 觉得这么个小破故事真心对不起序言里说的“治好了他对于爱情的偏见”……
评分电影还是相当不错的
评分累死我,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。
评分电影还是相当不错的
