A affair of 4 days...

Loner by nature, a crack shot with camera & a Nikon fanatic. Silver gray haired, lean but muscled; with an unconventional sense of style. Prefer to let the pictures speak for themselves, But does lend help to the words, to let them express their self. 

Beautiful, sexy,with large eyes. Overflowing black locks, complimenting the pale complexion. The poetic sense is as natural as breathing. Wild & romantic streak is barely restrained by her intelligence & sense of responsibility.

Two totally different people, separated by huge distances but connected by inevitable love. They come together for 4 days. Just 4 days! In these 4 days, they together make something so beautiful that just the memory of it lets them live away from each other. Away not for days, weeks or years; but till their death.

Seems a wild dream, or more aptly a fairy tale. Well, It isn't! This is the love story of Robert Kincaid, a free lance Photographer associated with National Geographic & Francesca Johnson, an italian housewife settled in , Madison county,Iowa. 


I have been trying to get hold of this book since a long time. And since it is not so easily available I was more than elated when I got my hands on a copy. One of the most beautiful books I have ever read. Amazingly written. 'Robert James Waller' has focussed his ideas very well. Don't confuse this with a normal love story; it's way more than that. A slim volume, but one that should be read slowly. Though written on a very simple line & even more simpler style, it will definitely invoke lot of thoughts in your mind & force you for introspection. Would recommend it to all the reading enthusiasts.
