bridges especially the Roseman bridge.She discovers facets to his personality underneath his strangely shy exterior that she has never encountered in any other person.In four days thay are bound to each other for life. yet when they part, they never meet again.The story is simple, strightforward and understated. However, the author has managed to achieve, through his narrative, a hauntingly beautiful, painful
quality that stays with the readre long after he or she has finished reading.Kincaid''s deep and abiding love for Francesca who sacrifices her own love for her family is truly romantic.There is a fragile, etereal quality to this story that make sit a must-read.
