The Bridge of San Luis Rey
by Thornton Wilder
I was a bit disappointed by this one. The blurb made it sound almost like a mystery but it was more of a description of the lives of some people.
I did like learning a bit about the lives of people in 18th Century Peru (An aristocrat, an orphan and an early form of manager/publicist) but their stories were a bit repetitive and didn't hold my attention. The lives of these people all intermingled very strongly and I would have preferred the story if their connections had been more tenuous.
In the end, I didn't really understand what the point was.
