Thornton Wilder tells the story of five people killed in the collapse of a bridge in Peru in 1714. A priest, confident of his ability to explain the theological reasons for these specific people to die, thoroughly investigates the victims. This masterful novel explores life and death, community and religion.

Grade: A.
