More about the book

Set in the early 18th century, the narrative revolves around the tragic collapse of an Incan rope bridge in Peru, which kills five individuals. The sole witness, Brother Juniper, embarks on a profound journey to understand the victims' lives and the role of Divine Providence in their deaths. Through his philosophical exploration, the novel delves into themes of loss, tragedy, and humanity's quest for meaning in a seemingly indifferent universe. This Pulitzer Prize-winning work remains a poignant reflection on fate and the interconnectedness of lives.
