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.

花了些时间将这本书看完了,《廊桥遗梦》的中文本。不得不说,确实是一本好书,单纯地从作者细腻的文笔来看,就是值得一读的。同时也很庆幸这样一本书遇到了一位好的译者,在没有阅读英文原版之前,将这本书成功地带入了我的心里。很好,很舒服的文字、流畅地心理描绘以...
评分 评分想必很多人看过廊桥遗梦。它风靡全世界。对于过于大众化的东西,我有一种避开的冲动。大家都说,我还说它做什么。我习惯于在热闹中沉默。欣赏特立独行。幸好,它现在略有沉寂了。 这里主要提小说,电影省略。等下先,忘带火机了。 嗯。沃勒的这部小说是以搜索式悬疑式描写的...
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...
动人的爱情,相互守望,超越一切
评分大学时候读的·在08年看了电影版·都一样感动落泪了
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。
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。
评分没人觉得跟自己子女说自己婚外情的事情很雷人吗?幸好那俩不是他们的结晶,不然变成伦理剧了都。
