The Bridge, (Hardcover)

<b>The stunning new short novel from the award-winning and bestselling author of<i> Brooklyn</i> and <i>Long Island.</i></b> <p>Miquel and his father are living an uneasy life together in his mother's family house in the Pyrenees. Miquel's mother left the year before, in a rage, and died alone in a snowstorm. Miquel's brother has too abandoned what's left of the family. </p><p>But the construction of a new bridge will soon end the valley's remoteness. No longer will these Pyrenees villages be so isolated; no longer will small time smugglers cart their contraband over the rope bridge on donkeys. </p><p>Where Miquel's father imagines opportunity, Miquel foresees disaster and an exposure to the outside world for which his father is desperately unprepared. </p><p>A gorgeous and gutting short novel about grief and desire, <i>The Bridge</i> is a masterpiece. With meticulous precision and an unerring eye, Toibin captures lives caught between the past and the present, and the devastating journey of a young man seeking connection, haunted by loss.</p>
