**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

Ruhig und doch dramatisch
Eine ruhig erzählte Geschichte über Arthur, der immer hinter seinem jüngeren Bruder Jake zurücksteht. Jake wird von der Mutter behütet, bevorzugt und geliebt, während Arthur immer am Rand steht und zuguckt. Dass das alles ein dramatisches Ende nimmt, ist bereits nach den ersten Seiten zu ahnen.
