The Other Side of the Bridge by Mary Lawson

Has anybody else read this book.
I have had it for a while on my list of books to read and the rain at the weekend meant I finished it quite quickly. Set in Canada and following the lives of two characters in the 1940's and then the late 50's and early 60's it give an insight into the lives of people in remote Northern Canada and their experience of the second world war with many young men going to war and not returning. It is beautifully written and the way the characters are gradually revealed is fery cleverly done. My favourite part was the atmosphere created and the descriptions of the landscape and lives of the people. The ending was a little disappointing but that seems to be quite common. All in all a lovely book escapist but not sentimental
