More about the book

Set in the early 18th century, the narrative unfolds after the tragic collapse of an Incan rope bridge in Peru, claiming five lives. The sole witness, Brother Juniper, embarks on a philosophical quest to understand the victims' lives and the nature of Divine Providence. His journey, both introspective and extensive, spans several years and miles, exploring themes of loss, tragedy, and the human desire for meaning in an indifferent universe. This Pulitzer Prize-winning novel is a poignant reflection on fate and connection.
