Into the book
It is now clear that for a long time I have been moving towards you and you towards me.
Before we met, we didn't know each other, but the certainty that we would be together was humming cheerfully in the depths of our hearts, even though we didn't know it.
Like two lonely birds flying across the vast plains at the call of heaven, we have been moving towards each other throughout all these years and all our lives.
--- p.43
Francesca said nothing, but she thought of a man who valued the difference between a meadow and a prairie, who was excited by the color of the sky, who wrote a little poetry but not much fiction.
A man playing guitar, making a living with his image and carrying his equipment in a backpack.
A man who looks like the wind.
And a man who moves like the wind.
Maybe someone who came riding on the wind.
--- pp.91-92
He made a soft sound of admiration.
All those feelings, all that I had searched and thought, all that I had felt, searched and thought throughout my life, were all gathered there in that moment.
And he felt love for Francesca Johnson.
To Francesca Johnson, a farmer's wife, formerly of Naples, now living in Madison County, Iowa.
--- p.134
“I have something to tell you, just one thing.
I will never tell you again, not to anyone.
And I hope you remember.
In this universe surrounded by ambiguity, such a certain feeling comes only once.
No matter how many times I live, it will never come back.”

Publisher's Review
Four days of love that shook fate
Francesca lived an ordinary life as a farmer's wife and mother of two in a rural Iowa town.
While her husband and children are away on a short trip to the fair, a stranger named Robert Kincaid arrives to take pictures of an old bridge.
Strange strangers, bouquets of flowers, perfume, beer, and toasts on a hot Monday in late summer.
Things happen that are beyond Francesca's control, and the two people who recognize each other's souls at first sight fall in love as if by fate.
Robert Kinkade, a free-spirited photographer who hates being tied down, has ended his long wandering, and Francesca, who has been living quietly with the dreams of her youth buried in her heart, wants to dance again.
The time the two spent together was only four days.
Francesca, who has a family, chooses to break up because of her sense of responsibility, and Robert Kincaid chooses to break up because of his deep love and understanding for her, and they spend their lives missing each other.
The story of two people who endured their lonely lives solely through the power of 'memories' is enough to move us in today's world where everything happens easily and is easily forgotten.
And it makes us think again about what true love is.
As you read the book, your heart may ache at the thought that the two people will never meet again.
The theme of love between a housewife and a middle-aged man may seem trite, but the author does not portray their love in a light or trite way.
In the deep conversation between the two, each small action is beautifully and lyrically expressed, conveying the true meaning of love through respect and consideration for each other, and evoking emotion.
Love that finds the lost self
“For four days, he gave me life, he gave me the universe, he made my fragmented life whole.” - From the text
Francesca was a dreamer in her youth.
I don't know exactly what the dream was, but it's clear that the dream was losing its place.
In a stable but unchanging and unexciting life, where she was left with only her role as a farmer's wife and mother of two children, Francesca must have been losing herself little by little.
It was a life without romance, eroticism, or dancing in candlelit kitchens.
Robert Kincaid, a man like the wind, reawakens Francesca's buried dreams.
As the book says, wasn't Kincaid a kind of magician?
It stimulated her and helped her rediscover her true self and dreams that she had lost.
Of course, she couldn't leave with Kincaid, but she would no longer be the farmer's wife Francesca she once was.
Because I lived every day with that feeling and dream in my heart.
This is a work that makes you think again about the meaning of 'love' in life.
