An interesting read. Because it was written almost 100 years ago I found it a little hard to follow at times, but all the stories of the people who perished in the bridge accident was an intriguing story and the final moments of the book are ones that warm my heart.
I picked this book up at random to read before the year’s end, and I was utterly caught off guard by how much I loved the prose. Wilder is so masterful at quick, deep characterization. A story about shades of love, loneliness, and death that could have been didactic, but isn’t. And a quick read, you could finish it in a morning.
I read this book several years ago and this reread confirmed what I knew back then, Wilder can write!
Five people in Peru are crossing a bridge when in an instant they all are plunging to their deaths in the valley below.
Certainly poetic in style this little novella invites the reader to think about fate, destiny and happenstance. Every reader will walk away with a different interpretation of the events related here and too the aftermath inflicted upon those who were left behind.
A classic that will never grow old.
