Product Description
From Amazon
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 Amazon interview, Bach explains 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

From a 14 yr old girls point of view at the age of 36,
By KindraWolf "Meemoe" (Toronto, Ontario CANADA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Bridge Across Forever: A True Love Story (Paperback)
I first read this book when I was fourteen. What a tender, influential time of life. And I am so grateful to Richard Bach for writing this book that played a hand in my influence. This book opened a point of view in my life that was not taught to me by my parents or from my newly dating friends. The confusion I felt then about love and all it encompassed was pasted together and has held ever since. Now at thirty-six I am still a believer of his words (regardless of his divorce). In that moment he felt what he felt and fortunately he captured it all in this book for the rest of us to read. Both of the 'me's' that read this great novel appreciate it for what it is. Pure and simple.

Bargain-Basement Romanticism: A Love Story,
By Anthony M Ludovici (St Davids, PA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Bridge Across Forever: A Lovestory (Mass Market Paperback)
This is the sort of novel Richard Rorty might write if he weren't so bright; for Bach adumbrates, in popular form, some of the same romantic polytheism, trendy Prometheanism, egoism, etc., that has been developing in Rorty (and in our culture) for decades. The novel is bad for divers reasons: its ideas are adolescent, the plot is visibly idealized; indeed Bach's folly in the first half of the book is a "straw man" to be knocked down all too easily in the second half. Bach's self-absorption, his selfishness: who can take them seriously? Probably too many. Withal, Bach, in the end, is a self-rightous purveyor of cultish nonsense. Astral projection, immortality. Indeed. Bach's only saving grace is that for a while he listens to the sane voice of Leslie; and we may take a modicum of comfort in this temporary--he's always GROWING, you know!--rapprochement. Very convenient, too, that children are never mentioned in all this soul-mate blather!

Waiting for your soulmate,
By Mundoo (Hindmarsh Island, Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Bridge Across Forever: A True Love Story (Paperback)
I kept waiting for Richard to meet his soulmate. The concept of a soulmate is often over-rated and most of us settle in the end for a comfortable life and existence with some-one who we have shared interests. This was a comfortable book to read and didn't really hold any surprises.
