heybrownberry 's review for:

The Bridge of San Luis Rey by Thornton Wilder

4.0

---

I'm not very familiar with this author's work, though I know he is popular in classic literature. I enjoyed the story more as each set of characters was revealed. It's so clever how he weaves together their connections and smoothly navigates forward and back in the timeline. The backdrop of the bridge collapse is surprisingly not the biggest element - each character's backstory is what hooked me. I recommend this as an easy, engaging read.
