Compare The Bridge of San Luis Rey by Thornton Wilder, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

On Friday noon, July the twentieth, 1714, the finest bridge in all Peru broke and precipitated five travelers into the gulf below. By chance, a monk witnesses the tragedy. Brother Juniper then embarks on a quest to prove that it was divine intervention rather than chance that led to the deaths of those who perished in the tragedy. His search leads to his own death—and to the author’s timeless investigation into the nature of love and the meaning of the human condition.
