The Bridge of San Luis Rey
Penguin reprint, published 1941.
An ancient bridge collapses over a gorge in Peru, hurling five people into the abyss. It seems a meaningless human tragedy. But one witness, a Franciscan monk, believes the deaths might not be as random as they appear. Convinced that the disaster is a punishment sent from Heaven, the monk sets out to discover all he can about the travellers. The five strangers were connected in some way, he thinks. There must be a purpose behind their deaths. But are their lost lives the result of sin? ... Or of love?
Condition grading: Good. Some light foxing and light creases to front cover. Some light wear to rear cover edges. Some wear to ends of grubby spine. Binding tight. The photographs form part of the description.
