LimerenceMag.com ReviewThe Bridge, by Kay Bratt, is an inspiring short story set in modern day China.  Fei Fei is a young boy who was abandoned on The Lucky Bridge by his mother because he is blind. The old woman, Jing, who lives opposite the bridge, has been bringing all of the children left there to the orphanage. When she takes Fei Fei in, she suddenly realizes just how much this little boy has touched her heart and is determined to help him however she can.The writing is absolutely flawless and tells a heartwarming story.  The author uses the Chinese language throughout the book which keeps you in the setting she's created. The characters are well developed in this short story and you can't help but fall in love with little Fei Fei.Although I really liked this story, there was no conflict involved.  Everything that happens is just too easy given the tragic situation. The ending was abrupt and left you wanting more, but not in a good kind of way.  It felt like the real story was about to start where the author left off.Overall, I would rate The Bridge 3  stars and would recommend it for anyone interested in the Chinese culture who isn't expecting more than a light and fast read.
