Robert James Waller

A romantic novella that follows the short but powerful love story between Francesca Johnson, a lonely housewife from rural Iowa, and Robert Kincaid, a traveling photographer. The story unfolds over four days while Francesca's husband and children are away

Francesca, an Italian woman married to an American farmer after World War II, leads a quiet but emotionally empty life on a farm in Madison County. Robert, a freelance photographer for National Geographic, arrives to photograph the famous covered bridges. Their chance encounter occurs when Francesca helps Robert find the Roseman Bridge. A deep emotional and physical connection quickly develops, marked by the passion and understanding that both of them lack in their lives.

The novel explores themes of love, duty, and sacrifice. Francesca faces a difficult decision: to remain in the security of her family life or to follow Robert into an uncertain but passionate future. Their relationship, though brief, leaves a lasting mark. Years later, after Francesca’s death, her children discover her secret through letters and a diary, realizing the depth of her feelings and the sacrifice she made.

Waller’s lyrical style and emotional depth make the story universal, examining the conflict between personal desires and societal expectations. The novel has become a classic, moving readers with its honesty and tragedy.
