bhunsberger 's review for:
The Engineer's Wife
by Tracey Enerson Wood
This book was quite interesting as it covered the history of the Brooklyn Bridge being built, and the role that Emily Roebling played in its completion. There was a lot of research that went into this book and I learned a lot about the techniques for building such a large structure at that time in history, as well as the role that Emily played in learning and providing leadership once her husband was injured. The time that the project took, as well as the danger to the workers is something that is harder to comprehend in this day and age, but quite interesting to consider.
