I find myself being a \u003ci\u003eMrs. Bridge\u003c\/i\u003e evangelist, telling them that it’s a perfect novel, and then pressing copies on them. . . What writing! Economical, piquant, beautiful, true.\" —Meg Wolitzer, \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEvan S. Connell’s \u003ci\u003eMrs. Bridge \u003c\/i\u003efirst hit the shelves in 1959 and has since then, along with its companion book \u003ci\u003eMr. Bridge\u003c\/i\u003e, become a literary classic. Considered one of the great American novels, Connell artfully crafts a portrait using the finest of details in everyday events and confrontations. The novel is composed 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 new edition, we are reminded once again why \u003ci\u003eMrs. Bridge \u003c\/i\u003eand Evan S. Connell continue to be celebrated as paragons of modern literature.","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46302388224229,"sku":"NP9781582435688","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9781582435688.jpg?v=1767733061","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/mrs-bridge-a-novel-isbn-9781582435688","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
