Bridge of Sighs
Amazon Significant Seven, November 2007: Richard Russo's first book since the Pulitzer Prize-winningEmpire Falls,Bridge of Sighsis a typically stunning portrait of three small town families struggling--like the town itself--to strike a balance between obsessively embracing their own history or shunning it entirely, with devastating consequences along both paths. Bridge of Sighs is pure Russo: funny, heartbreaking, and ringing completely true.--Jon Foro
