One of my mom's favorite movies/books towards the end of her life was "The Bridges of Madison County" - I've watched the movie many times, and have a few copies of the book with different covers. I love how each cover artist takes something different from the book and uses that inspiration for their cover.
This is my take on the cover. The diary that Francesca's children find after she passes away, some of the photos Kincaid took after Francesca showed him how to find the bridge he was looking for, and the bunch of flowers he picks for her... that scene always makes me laugh. Meryl Streep is a wonderful actress and I love the humor she portrays in this role.
