Online Storytime - The Bridge of San Luis Rey

A "philosophical fiction" classic, The Bridge of San Luis Rey won the Pulitzer in 1928 and is only about 170 pages long (depending on the edition).

This is quite a different pick for our online book club, but I thought I'd mix it up. At least we'll have something to talk about if we don't like a Pulitzer winner.

The Goodreads synopsis online contains major spoilers! Beware.

I did some research about the book, it contains tragedy and violence but ultimately it's supposed to be about love and connection. Because its a classic, most descriptions contain spoilers, so be careful.

It's ok to attend if you didn't finish the book, but spoilers including the ending will be discussed.

From Wikipedia:
The Bridge of San Luis Rey tells the story of people who die in the collapse of an Inca rope bridge in Peru, and the events that lead up to their being on the bridge. A friar who witnesses the accident then goes about inquiring into the lives of the victims, seeking some sort of cosmic answer to the question of why each had to die.

We might try discord this month. A link or instructions will be posted closer to the event.
