The Bridge of San Luis Rey by Thornton Wilder
3.0
This is one of those books that have been on my list forever. I knew nothing about the book prior to reading it. I'm not sure what I think about it. It's an interesting premise.
A bridge collapses in 1714 in Peru, and a Franciscan monk who witnesses wants to investigate the lives of those that were on the bridge at the time. Was it an accident, was it intentional, what did it all mean in the end? So he knocks on a lot of doors in Lima Peru, to find the answer.
The beginning and the ending of this book was indeed beautiful, but I found myself feeling glad it was a short.
