Synopsis
The Bridges of Madison County . . . and Slow Waltz in Cedar Bend (Omnibus Edition).
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 the fulfilment of a girlhood dream, The Bridges of Madison County gives voice to the longings of men and women everywhere and shows us what it is to love and be loved so intensely that life is never the same again.
Slow Waltz in Cedar Bend is a novel by Robert James Waller. It was the third highest seller in the US in 1993, after Waller's Bridges of Madison County, to which this book was his follow-up, and John Grisham's The Client. Over two million copies were in print by the end of 1993.
In this book restless loner and motorcycle rider Michael Tillman is unable to resist his powerful feelings for Jellie Braden, a free spirit trapped in a passionless marriage.

External Reviews
"Fall in love with one of the bestselling novels of all time - the legendary love story that became a beloved film starring Clint Eastwood and Meryl Streep. If you've ever experienced the one true love of your life, a love that for some reason could never be, you will understand why readers all over the world are so moved by this small, unknown first novel that they became a publishing phenomenon and #1 bestseller." - Amazon Review.
"I read "Bridges of Madison County" several years ago, and again more recently. On merit of that, I went ahead and bought this one. Another excellent tale by Robert James Waller. If I were asked to categorize Mr. Waller's work, I would find it difficult to do so definitively. Based on the two I've read, they seem to fall loosely into the "romance" genre - with a nice twist: His players are mature, middle-aged adults complete with quirks and imperfections - a nice departure from the standard, tiresome romance format where everybody is too good looking to be believable, and the male protagonist is wealthy to boot. Waller spins a believable tale, with believable characters and settings. That's what it takes to please this reader. I look forward to reading his entire body of work in the near future."
"Once again Robert Walker has written a very good book that I found difficult to put down. I like the way he deals with romance, telling the reader all but in a way that is lovely to read" - Goodreads Reviews.
"A hauntingly understated love story, set in small town America, that stays with you long after you've reluctantly finished reading the final page." - Terence Stamp.
"We all dream of the chance meeting, that moment when we feel we are really living. Waller shows us that it can happen, with compelling assurance." - Sunday Telegraph.
