Once more,
for the peregrines,
the strangers,
last cowboys.
And for all the readers
who asked about
the rest of the story.
In all, a book of endings.  | |

So: Come twirl the big rope again, maybe not so high and wild as you once did, but still with the hiss and feel of the circle above you and sun falling through the loop, shadows on the ground where the big rope twirls while it's all getting down to last things, down to one-more-times... | |

At last, the rest of the story
After many years and twelve million copies, Robert James Waller's The Bridges of Madison County remains one of the great love stories of all time. The tale of Robert Kincaid, photographer and free spirit, and Francesca Johnson, a conventional farmer's wife, gave voice to the longings of men and women everywhere - to know what it is to be loved so intensely that life is never the same again.
A Thousand Country Roads
At last, in this poignant new book, Robert James Waller tells the remainder of Robert and Francesca's story. Kincaid, left with only his memories, will once again take to the road on a journey of discovery. On the expedition he calls Last Time, Kincaid heads back to Roseman Bridge in Madison County, Iowa, then on to an encounter with the distant past, and a surprise no one could have imagined... | |
