After sixty years of living in the upstate New York town of Thomaston with his wife of forty years, indominable mother, and grown son, Louis Charles and his wife Sarah prepare for a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Italy to visit his childhood friend, an artist who had fled his hometown many years earlier, where he hopes to come to terms with the secrets of small-town life and their individual fates. 200,000 first printing.
Review:
"BRIDGE OF SIGHS, [Richard] Russo's splendid chronicle of life in the hollowed-out town of Thormaston, N.Y...is large-hearted, vividly populated and filled with life from America's recent, still vanishing past."
Jeffrey Frank, Publishers Weekly, 08/13/2007
Review:"No novelist writes better about struggling small towns and the working class than Richard Russo, whose last novel, EMPIRE FALLS, won a Pulitzer Prize in 2002. BRIDGE OF SIGHS explores both familiar and new territory. It's his most ambitious and best work."
Bob Minzesheimer, USA Today, 09/24/2007

Bridge of Sighs (Hardback) (ISBN: 9780375414954) Russo, Richard Quantity Available: 1
Book Description: Knopf Publishing Group, United States, 2007. Hardback. Book Condition: New. 238 x 167 mm. Brand New Book. Six years after the best-selling, Pulitzer Prize-winning" Empire Falls, " Richard Russo returns with a novel that expands even further his widely heralded achievement. Louis Charles ("Lucy") Lynch has spent all his sixty years in upstate Thomaston, New York, married to the same woman, Sarah, for forty of them, their son now a grown man. Like his late, beloved father, Lucy is an optimist, though he's had plenty of reasons not to be--chief among them his mother, still indomitably alive. Yet it was her shrewdness, combined with that Lynch optimism, that had propelled them years ago to the right side of the tracks and created an "empire" of convenience stores about to be passed on to the next generation. Lucy and Sarah are also preparing for a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Italy, where his oldest friend, a renowned painter, has exiled himself far from anything they'd known in childhood. In fact, the exact nature of their friendship is one of the many mysteries Lucy hopes to untangle in the "history" he's writing of his hometown and family. And with his story interspersed with that of Noonan, the native son who'd fled so long ago, the destinies building up around both of them (and Sarah, too) are relentless, constantly surprising, and utterly revealing. "Bridge of Sighs" is classic Russo, coursing with small-town rhythms and the claims of family, yet it is brilliantly enlarged by an expatriate whose motivations and experiences--often contrary, sometimes not--prove every bit as mesmerizing as they resonate through these richly different lives. Here is a town, as well as a world, defined by magnificent and nearly devastating contradictions.
