Title: A MUST READ full of the truth and beauty of life
Review: "The Bridge of San Luis Rey" is a novel to which I have returned countless times since I first read it in high school years ago. Astonishingly modern, it is hard to believe it was published in 1927! Ideal for any lover of historical novels (or of history itself), Wilder's beautifully crafted tale interweaves the lives and fates of diverse characters and speaks eloquently to the universal human themes of grief, loss, love, friendship, compassion, and man's quest for the secrets of eternity. This is truly a book that grows with one - - returning to it at any given time of your life will yield new insights and passages to treasure. Truly one of the masterpieces of American Literature.
