2 journalers for this copy...
Product Description
The Bridge of San Luis Rey opens in the aftermath of an inexplicable tragedy--a tiny foot-bridge in Peru breaks, and five people hurtle to their deaths. For Brother Juniper, a humble monk who witnesses the catastrophe, the question in inescapable. Why those five? Suddenly, Brother Juniper is committed to discover what manner of lives they led--and whether it was divine intervention or a capricious fate that took their lives.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This Pulitzer Prize-winning novel written in 1927 [this copy has some underlining and margin notes from a previous reader] gives one lots to think about. It's the kind of book that needs more than one reading to fully understand, and at 133 pages, that will not be difficult to do!
Particularly touching was the tragic [non]relationship of the Marquesa de Montemayor with her daughter.
Brother Juniper's attempts to quantify goodness using a points system was interesting, to say the least.
