Slow Waltz in Cedar Bend: Robert James Waller

Robert James Waller, after his spectacular runaway success of Bridges of Madison County,, gives us yet another memorable and beautiful love story of Michael Tillman and Jellie Braden. Slow Waltz in Cedar Bend is a nostalgic and yet refreshing take on relationships that shape our later years of life.

Married to an Indian Revolutionary, mother to his daughter, Jellie has had a complicated and difficult life. Michael falls in love with her totally unaware of her complex past. What unfolds is a slow and beautiful dance spanning continents between India and America.

Robert Waller’s description of India is so vivid, clear and precise that you cannot but conclude that what he is describing is actual recorded events from his real life experiences in India. The book is spectacularly engaging and readable.
