Slow burner but worth it.
I started reading Mary Lawson as I read a review comparing her to Ann Tyler whose books I enjoy very much. The review was about A Town Called Solace (her most recent - also on Audible) which I loved, so went straight on to The Other Side of the Bridge. It builds, very slowly at first, into a fascinating analysis of sibling rivalry and the effects on a small isolated town of the Second World War. Very powerful. Would love to hear her other books on Audible like Crow Lake.

Inaccurate chapter markers!
This was a really good story and we'll narrated but really spoiled by the fact that the chapter markers on audible were incorrect. The story unfolds by moving back and forth in time making it even more important that you know when the narrative shifts are going to come. The lack of accurate chapters markers made it really difficult to pace my listening and I kept having to leave the story at key moments when ordinarily I would have known whether I had time to listen to the end of a chapter.

Another wonderful Mary Lawson book
I loved this as much as all Mary Lawson's others and was sorry when it ended. Delightful characterisation, descriptions of small town life and relationships within a family.

A Tale of Two Brothers
This is a beautifully written story with a wonderful sense of place. The description of farming life in northern Canada is vivid and engaging as the backdrop to the narrative around the brothers. The characters come alive and the story holds your attention to the last word. A great read.

Stays with you for days
Astonishing book. Assured, fascinating characters and narrative. After I finished it I would find myself thinking of little morsels of description days later. Can’t recommend it highly enough.
