Bridge of Sighs


Bridge of Sighs by Richard Russo, 2007
Read this is June 2013

It was wonderful discovering the works of Richard Russo back in the 1990's and I've been reading his books ever since. I missed this one initially and waited a few years before I read it. This was another interesting story centered in upstate New York. 

I completely enjoyed it.
