Description

The Other Side of the Bridge by Mary Lawson is a powerful and poignant novel set against the backdrop of two world wars. In the small town of Struan, Ontario, the fragile balance between sibling rivalry and community is tested when a beautiful young woman arrives, sending shockwaves through the lives of Arthur and Jake Dunn. As the decades unfold, the brothers' paths become increasingly entwined with that of their family's next generation, Ian, who struggles to navigate the complexities of right and wrong. Lawson masterfully weaves together a narrative of love, loss, and tragedy, building tension to a shocking climax. With its taut prose and surprising moments of tenderness and humour, The Other Side of the Bridge is a compelling and humane novel that explores the devastating impact of war on families and communities.
