Mrs. Bridge: A Novel

"Again and again. . . I find myself being a Mrs. Bridge evangelist, telling them that it's a perfect novel, and then pressing copies on them. . . What writing! Economical, piquant, beautiful, true." --Meg Wolitzer, The New York Times Evan S. Connell's Mrs. Bridge first hit the shelves in 1959 and has since then, along with its companion book Mr. Bridge, become a literary classic. Considered one of the great American novels, Connell artfully crafts a portrait using the finest of details in everyday events and confrontations. The novel is composed 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 new edition, we are reminded once again why Mrs. Bridge and Evan S. Connell continue to be celebrated as paragons of modern literature.
