The Bridges of Madison County par Robert James Waller

My love for the musical is keeping me from giving this a lower rating. Not the best book but also not the worst.

The Bridges of Madison County par Robert James Waller

I really enjoyed the first half of this book: an engaging, detailed character study of two fully-realized individuals. The writing was poetic and straightforward. In the second half of the book, the writing lost some of its charm. What was poetic became schmaltzy and overwrought, and I couldn't help but feel frustrated with the characters' choices. Quick read.
