And the Bridge Is Love by David Biro

Posted

"There is a land of the living and a land of the dead, and the bridge is love, the only survival, the only meaning"

Title: And the Bridge Is Love [ LINK ]

Author: David Biro

Emotional, inspirational and full of hope; a beautiful story about three mature, independent women.

Free-spirited Corinna, family-centred Maria and athletic Gertie are brought together after a choking incident where two of the women most likely saved the life of the third.  They develop a strong friendship after the incident and share their lives in a way that only women can. They meet at least weekly in what they refer to as The Temple, a clearing with a bench, overlooking the Verrazzano bridge connecting Staten Island and Brooklyn in New York. During twenty years they meet and see the big ships coming and going sharing their lives stories. 

There are things in all their pasts which they haven't yet shared with each other and other things they don't yet even know themselves. Preconceived ideas, misunderstandings and unspoken wishes cause tension between the women, but by accepting help from each other they are able to take some scary steps and move forward. 

For me, this is a lovely story and one of the things I'll take away is to not put off doing things, to not be afraid, to dare take that first step and to enjoy life -- before it is too late.

Den som dödade helvetets änglar by Jan Guillou

Posted
"Den som dödade helvetets änglar by Jan Guillou" - freely translated as " The one who killed the angels in hell". A bit late to reading this, but what a treat!!!  His language is beautiful, the connections to true events and living people are spot on, and the criticism of governments thought-provoking and necessary in a democratic-ish society.  Written in a completely different style to his other Hamilton and Ponti books i loved this one! I’ve already got the next one downloaded and will hopefully be in for another treat.  This book is so far only available in Swedish - unfortunately similar to most of Guillou's fabulous books!
