The Falconer
"Do I remember that first sight of him clearly now, after all that has been? I should have been struck speechless. I should have swooned. Instead, I walked toward him quite calmly, or I thought I was calm. Yet I do remember wondering if I had combed my hair that morning. I do remember being glad I had worn a bra and wishing it were not so plain and businesslike. And I reme...more

Read this YEARS ago...beautiful, simple love story about a woman who is dying of cancer, and makes a list of things she'd like to do before she dies. Flying a falcon is one, and with the unlikely help of the odd, quiet falconer, she realizes her life has been full of tragic missed opportunities. The story has "Bridges of Madison County" undertones...what can I say...I am a hopeless romantic at heart.

my all time favorite book. you either identify with it or you don't. the author is a poet so the wording is just beautifully mastered. I love the story. I read it once a year becuase it is that good....
Es una historia triste sobre encontrar el amor de tu vida cuando ya no te queda mucho tiempo. Me pasó algo parecido, afortunadamente... aún estoy realizando cosas de mi lista.
Good. But it just spent too much time repeating itself and stressing what she was trying to communicate. The length suited me though. Any longer and it would've been a bit boring.
I just bought this little gem on Kindle, more than a decade after reading it for the first time. It's lyrical and beautiful and short; one of my all time favourites.
One of the saddest stories I have ever read, heartbreaking really. What an amazing love story. I highly recommend it.
read this many years ago...and it left an impression...I remember not wanting the book to end
Very short love story, made me cry, but I knew it would from the beginning.
A very profound love story; we should all be so lucky.
I loved this book. Something about it reminded me of "Eva Moves The Furniture."
Amazing but sad, about life, death and living
