Book Reviews of The Bridge Across Forever: A True Love Story
Book Review: Another winner from Bach!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been an avid Richard Bach fan since Jonathan Livingston Seagull was first published, and I was not disappointed by The Bridge Across Forever.
As noted elsewhere, the first half is somewhat slow moving, which I think reflects Richard's own sometimes tedious search for a soulmate. I'm amazed at his ability to portray himself so honestly while simultaneously sharing such a wonderful philosophy with the reader. It's as though he's taking us along on the journey for the fun of it.
I've seen a few comments reflecting a disillusionment with this book
because of his divorce. But who's to say that soulmates always stay
together, or that they ever meet in any given lifetime? Personally, I
think they did very well.
All in all, a joyous mix of discovery, metaphysics, humor and love!
Summary of The Bridge Across Forever: A True Love Story
More than one year on the New York Times bestseller list! Richard Bach's timeless and uplifting classic of hope and love
"We're the bridge across forever, arching above the sea, adventuring for our pleasure, living mysteries for the fun of it, choosing disasters triumphs challenges impossible odds, testing ourselves over and again, learning love and love and love!"
"The opposite of loneliness, it's not togetherness. It is intimacy."
"Look in a mirror and one thing's sure: what we see is not who we are."
"Next to God, love is the word most mangled in every language. The highest form of regard between two people is friendship, and when love enters, friendship dies."
"There are no mistakes. The events we bring upon ourselves, no matter how unpleasant, are necessary in order to learn what we need to learn; whatever steps we take, they're necessary to reach the places we've chosen to go."
Bestselling author Richard Bach explores the meaning of fate and soul mates in this modern-day fairytale based on his real-life relationship with actor Leslie Parrish. "This is a story about a knight who was dying, and the princess who saved his life," Bach writes in his opening greeting. "It's a story about beauty and beasts and spells and fortresses, about death-powers that seem and life-powers that are." Yes, it is all that, and more. On the earthly plane this is about the riveting love affair between two fully human people who are willing to explore time travel and other dimensions together even as they grapple with the earthly struggles of intimacy, commitment, smothering, and whose turn it is to cook. Their love affair and happy ending inspired many enthusiastic fans. Years later, some of these fans were devastated to discover that this match made in heaven didn't manage to stick (the couple are no longer together). But in an interview, Bach explained that lovers don't have to stay married forever to be lifetime soul mates. Read this as a lesson about love's enchantments and possibilities, but don't count on this book to keep you and your mate on the bridge across forever. --Gail Hudson
