What to expect
In Mrs. Bridge, Evan S. Connell, a consummate storyteller, artfully crafts a portrait using the finest of details in everyday events and confrontations. The novel is comprised 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 edition, we are reminded once again why Mrs. Bridge has been hailed by readers and critics alike as one of the greatest novels in American literature.
“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, New York Times
