The Importance of Bridges

Más información sobre el libro

This is a story woven from the lives of three people: Andrew Lambton, a builder of bridges, Jozsef Lambton, an obstetrician, and Claire Clark, a beautiful woman whose life is bound up in theirs. Jozsef Lambton has the best possible life. He has found a satisfying profession. His wife, Barbara, is a great and good friend. He adores his daughter, Devon. What haunts him, though, are memories of his past. His father, Andrew Lambton, a former Barnardo boy, has achieved great financial success, yet, the loss of his wife, Zajac, drives him to despair. Claire Clark has survived a dark, chilling and very damaging childhood but, in her struggle to survive, she has overcome her demons. What appears to be a chance meeting between Claire and Jozsef is, instead, an important mission for Claire. She has found peace in the green hills and valleys of a small, country town, with her beloved son Dean, but the time has come to tell both Jozsef and Dean of their true relationship. Other characters are an important part of the story: a determined school teacher, a willful daughter, a forgiving son. There are equal portions of love, laughter, heartache and struggle in The Importance of Bridges. Hopefully, should you begin to read it, it will draw you in and, by means of laughter and understanding, awakened your deepest emotions.
