Description

**LONGLISTED FOR THE BOOKER PRIZE**

In a small town in Northern Ontario, Arthur and his brother Jake are divided by temperament, ambition and their shared love for the same woman.

Arthur and Jake are brothers yet worlds apart. Arthur is shy, dutiful and set to inherit his father's farm. Jake is handsome and reckless, and dangerous to know.

When Laura arrives in their community, tensions are pushed to the edge of tragedy...

Spanning the 1930s to the post-war years, The Other Side of the Bridge explores love, betrayal and the enduring weight of memory within a tightly bound rural community.

'An enthralling read, both straightforward and wonderfully intricate' Guardian

'Evokes beautifully the big joys and sorrows of most people, no matter how small their town' The Times

About Mary Lawson
Mary Lawson’s first novel, Crow Lake, was loved by critics and readers all over the world; it was translated into 26 languages and published in 29 countries. It was a New York Times bestseller, won the McKitterick Prize and spent 75 weeks on the bestseller lists in her native Canada. Her second novel, The Other Side of the Bridge, was longlisted for the Booker Prize and selected for the Richard & Judy Book Club. Road Ends, published in 2014, was described by the New York Times as ‘tender and surprising . . . a vivid and evocative tale’. A Town Called Solace, published to critical acclaim in February 2021, was an instant bestseller in her native Canada and was longlisted for the Booker Prize. Mary came to England in the 1960s, and lives in Kingston-upon-Thames.
