About
In 1714, “the finest bridge in all Peru” collapses and five people plunge to their deaths. Brother Juniper, a Franciscan missionary, who witnessed the tragedy and deeply affected by the lives lost decides to track down their individual stories to prove that even what seem to be random misfortunes are consistent with God’s plan. In so doing, he asks the novel’s pivotal “Why did this happen to those five?”. There must be a purpose behind their deaths. But are their lost lives the result of sin? ... Or of love?

The Bridge of San Luis Rey is a beautifully written short story, unlike anything else in American fiction.
