The Bridge by Colm Tóibín. Deep in the Pyrenees mountains, a young man, Miquel, struggles in the wake of his mother’s death in a snowstorm — a tragic event that was at the center of Tóibín’s 2006 novella, A Long Winter. One year after her passing, Miquel wrestles with grief, desire, and the weight of change as the construction of a new bridge stands to open up his remote village. “The Bridge stays in the mind less as a historically specific story of 20th-century development than as an ageless study of loss, betrayal and survival,” The Guardian wrote.
