Ten years after the publication of The Bridges of Madison County, which in 1995 beat out Gone With the Wind as the bestselling hardcover novel of all time, Waller returns with an "epilogue" that details the last years of star-crossed lovers Francesca Johnson and Robert Kincaid. Narrated by Jim Bond, the book picks up sixteen years after the couple's last meeting, when Francesca is a widow and Robert, whose health is failing, decides to take one last road trip. During the course of his fateful journey, Robert unearths a secret that changes the remainder of his life.
At last, the rest of the story...
Ten years and twelve million copies after the first printing of The Bridges of Madison County, Robert James Waller brings to a poignant conclusion his story of the love affair between a wandering photographer and the conventional wife of an Iowa farmer.
In A Thousand Country Roads, Robert Kincaid initially finds himself with little but memories-memories of a lonely existence lived mostly on the road and memories of Francesca Johnson, the woman whose passion he stirred so briefly and with such power. Kincaid takes to the road again in what becomes a journey of discovery and surprise. With his dog Highway beside him, Kincaid begins a long winding run back to Roseman Bridge in Madison County, Iowa, returning to the place of his great love affair.
Living her own solitary life, Francesca still visits Roseman Bridge and reflects on her days and nights with Robert Kincaid. Cherishing the memory of the strange wandering man who changed her world, she vows to search for him.
