Book Review #35 - The Other Side of the Bridge

I read this because Mary Lawson wrote Crow Lake and it haunted me. I was not disappointed with her second book, The Other Side of the Bridge, although I think Crow Lake is the better book. The Other Side of the Bridge takes the classic story of two brothers - one bad...one good - and meshes the lessons taken from both The Prodigal Son and Cain and Abel. Throw in a woman to make it a love triangle but keep it subdued and approachable by setting it in a farming community in Canada and, voila, you have great literature! I want Mary Lawson to write more books!
