Mrs. Bridge: A Novel

Mrs. Bridge: A Novel

<b>"Again and again. . . I find myself being a <i>Mrs. Bridge</i> evangelist, telling them that it€s a perfect novel, and then pressing copies on them. . . What writing! Economical, piquant, beautiful, true." €•Meg Wolitzer, <i>The New York Times</i></b> <br><br> In <i>Mrs. Bridge</i>, Evan S. Connell, a consummate storyteller, artfully crafts a portrait using the finest of details in everyday events and confrontations. The novel is comprised of vignettes, images, fragments of conversations, events€•all building powerfully toward the completed group portrait of a family, closely knit on the surface but deeply divided by loneliness, boredom, misunderstandings, isolation, sexual longing, and terminal isolation. In this special fiftieth anniversary edition, we are reminded once again why <i>Mrs. Bridge</i> has been hailed by readers and critics alike as one of the greatest novels in American literature.
