Description

This is an auction for BRIDGE OF SIGHS by Richard Russo.

"A magnificent, bighearted new novel and an astounding achievement. A masterpiece."

Boston Globe

“A story of constantly evolving complexity and depth. Bridge of Sighs is Russo's most intricate, multifaceted novel . . . enormous and enormously moving." Washington Post Book World

"A novel of great warmth, charm and intimacy . . . richly evocative and beautifully wrought." New York Times

“Russo's most ambitious and best work." USA Today

“Coursing with humour and humanity, Russo’s novel gives full expression to the themes that have always been at the heart of his work: the bond between fathers and sons, the desperation of small-town businesses, and the lifelong feuds and friendships that are a hallmark of small-town life. Following a trio of friends over 50 years, the novel captures some of the essential mysteries of life, including the unanticipated moments of childhood that will forever define one's adulthood. Russo lovingly pieces together rich, multilayered portraits not only of the principals but also of their families, and, by extension, their quintessentially American town. It is a seamless interweaving of childhood memories, tragic incidents, and unforgettable dialogue that is so natural, funny, and touching that it may, perhaps, be the best of Russo's many gifts.”
