The wild places are where no one is looking anymore. Out there on the high plains, among the Sioux reservations and the silent buttes, among the small towns dying and the people with them, you can hear the wind. And on the back of the wind is the sound of an old accordion—tangos—mingling with the lonely thump of a single drum in the nighttime and a far-off warrior’s cry. On the back of the wind is the smell of worn saddle leather and sawdust, of sandalwood, and smoke from ancient ceremonial fires.

The legendary love story and the major motion picture starring Clint Eastwood and Meryl Streep. This is the story of Robert Kincaid, the photographer and free spirit searching for the covered bridges of Madison County, and Francesca Johnson, the farm wife waiting for fulfillment of a girlhood dream. It shows readers what it is to love and be loved so intensely that life is never the same again.

Francesca Johnson lever ett lugnt liv på en farm i Madison County tillsammans med sin familj. Känslorna för maken är inte lika starka som en gång i tiden och i hemlighet drömmer hon om en annan tillvaro, långt bort från rutinerna och tristessen på gården. En het augustidag när hon är ensam hemma kör en gammal dammig skåpbil upp framför huset och ut stiger fotografen Robert Kincaid. Han frågar om vägen till de berömda övertäckta broarna som ska finnas i närheten och Francesca erbjuder sig att hjälpa honom.

Robert Kincaid, 52, hat als Fotograf die ganze Welt bereist.

Francesca wähnt sich glücklich verheiratet, doch die Begegnung mit dem Fotografen weckt vergessene Sehnsüchte in ihr.

With over 10 million copies sold, bestselling author Robert James Waller returns with the haunting, evocative story of a small town, a beautiful and mysterious woman, and the man forever changed by both.

The steady tick of an aged Regulator wall clock and the squeak of an overhead fan turning slowly are soft but insistent, counting down the night, while the high desert thrums like a half-remembered Victrola song. The sounds are below the consciousness of Winchell Dear, an old-time gambler, a Texas poker player on the southern circuit, as he waits for something...something vague that his life of chance tells him is evil and moving his way.
