The Bridges of Madison County

Muchos conocereis la película, pero a mi me fascinó la novela de Robert James Waller.

It tells the story of a married but lonely Italian woman ( Meryl Streep), living in 1960s Madison County, Iowa, who engages in an affair with a National Geographic photographer (Clint Eastwood) from who is visiting Madison County in order to create a photographic essay on the covered bridges in the area. 

The novel is presented as a novelization of a true story, but it is in fact entirely fiction. However, the author has stated in an interview that there are strong similarities between the main character and himself.
The novel is one of the bestselling books of the twentieth century. It was originally published in the UK under the title Love in Black and White.

The Bridges of Madison County was made into a film on the same name in 1995.
