I read this book years ago in one evening. I usually have a hard time forcing myself to read a book but I could NOT put this one down. A beautiful love story but a tear jurker too. Simply an awesom story. I never would have cast Clint Eastwood as the leading actor in this story but surprisingly he did an amazing job. Hard to think of him as a gentle kind man after so many western hard guy parts but he surprised me. This is a great story to add to your collection if you are a romantic. A wife and mother of two children finds herself home alone on the farm for a few days while her family has gone to a fair. A famous photographer happens by and a forbidden romance occurs. The woman is torn between her family obligations and this new love that she could not fight nor deny.... A must see!
I do like this film. If you believe in that "one special person" or soul mates you will probably like this film as well. It reminds me of connections to the past and that when you care for someone, no matter how far away or how long it's been since you've seen them, there's always a connection. It's a very sappy film and would probably be classified as a "chick flick". However, it is timeless. I've never been one for romance books or novels and this film comes close to those. Yet this film is so well preformed and is a theme that creates such emotions that it's easy to forget the sappy bit. I would recommend it to anyone who has a long lost love, or just think that they do. It harkens those feelings of the past and of great love. It reminds you that there are connections to another. It can drag a bit and it is depressive and it's not a feel good film. It's also not a very intellectual film. It does deal with a theme that not all of us get. So I give it a 4/5. It's far better than the book, which for some reason, was a best seller in the early 1990s. Maybe it was an Ophra book? I would recommend it's purchase for a your film library. It's excellent when you are feeling good and sorry for yourself.Read full review
Sometimes you need to be swept up in a movie like this. Whether you can relate to these characters or not, if you have been lucky enough to find your soulmate, you will fall for both Meryl Streep & Clint Eastwood. Especially Meryl and her Italy to Iowa pain. Of course, we have come to expect nothing less from her. I have been blessed to live this movie so it's no surprise I find I must watch it a couple times a month. Please do yourself a favor and see this wonderful movie. You will fall in love with love.

If you are not used to showing your partner your emotions, you might want to make your first viewing of this film a solo act. It is NOT Mr. Eastwood's normal genre and he pulls it off wonderfully. This film is for everyone who has had the misfortune of winning at the wrong time. Enjoy.

A very good love story. This movie illustrates Clint Eastwood's versatility and represents the accidental love that has occurred in the lives of ordinary people. Co-star Meryl Streep is spectacular and they may have played their best roles ever. I love the westerns and Dirty Harry, ect. But Clint Eastwood is something else in this movie. Keep doing what your doing Clint because I like it!
