The Other Side of the Bridge Summary

The Other Side of the Bridge: Discover the author Graham Norton praised for her 'poised, elegant prose, paired with quiet drama that will break your heart.' by Mary Lawson

**LONGLISTED FOR THE BOOKER PRIZE**

A powerful, heart-breaking story about tempting fate and living with the consequences

Arthur and Jake are brothers yet worlds apart.

When Laura arrives in their rural community, the fragile balance of the brothers' rivalry is pushed to the edge of catastrophe...

Evokes beautifully the big joys and sorrows of most people, no matter how small their town * The Times *
Discreetly powerful * Daily Telegraph *
This is a fine book - an enthralling read, both straightforward and wonderfully intricate * Guardian *

About Mary Lawson

Mary Lawson's first novel, Crow Lake, was loved by critics and readers all over the world; it was translated into 25 languages and published in 28 countries. It was a New York Times bestseller, won the McKitterick Prize and spent 75 weeks on the bestseller lists in her native Canada. Her second novel, The Other Side of the Bridge, was longlisted for the Booker Prize and selected for the Richard & Judy Book Club. And, most recently, Road Ends was described as 'tender and surprising . . . a vivid and evocative tale' in the New York Times. Mary came to England in the 1960s, and lives in Kingston-upon-Thames. www.marylawson.ca
