Overview
A moving, Pulitzer Prize-winning novel from the author of Our Town and The Skin of Our Teeth, following a traveling monk who witnesses a horrific tragedy, leading him to grapple with the meaning of life and death, now freshly repackaged for the Union Square & Co. Signature Classics Line.
In July 1714, five travelers fall to their deaths when the grandest bridge in Peru collapses, casting them into the gulf below. Brother Juniper, a traveling monk, pays witness to their deaths and sets out to investigate the lives of each of the five victims, determined to find meaning in their seemingly senseless deaths. Over the course of the story, each of the victims is brought to life, and their interwoven fates beg existential questions about the meaning of life, death, and love.
