If ever there was a book that I wish I’d have written, it would have to be ’’The bridge across forever’’. Richard Bach is a very gifted writer, who can take his readers on a journey of love and other emotions. I read this book for the first time in Delhi after borrowing it from a hostel-mate (Kshitiz Malik). After completing it, I went out and bought my own copy and have since read it two more times, the latest being on my journey from Delhi to Chennai.
Love is a very difficult emotion to put into words, but Richard Bach makes a very good attempt at trying to do so. He expresses in words what every lover wishes to do so but is very often unable to do. The journey he takes us through while in search of his soul-mate is the story of everyone of us in one way or the other. Every person on this earth is in search of his/her soul-mate (conciously or unconciously). The bridge across forever is a book about each one of us, whether we be in search of our soul-mate or have already found them.
The words with which Richard Bach is able to describe his love are very meaningful and worth reading over and over. My favourite line : ’’You will always return to the arms of the one you love’’. How true!
I suggest this book as a definite read for all, whether they believe in love or not.
