In
The One-Way Bridge,
Cathie Pelletier draws readers back to the beloved town of Mattagash, a
seemingly quiet New England outpost at the end of the road in Northern
Maine. Yet Mattagash is anything but tranquil. While its citizens bicker
publicly over small-town theft or their neighbors’ offensive mailboxes,
they privately struggle through deeper life issues: scandal, loss,
failed ambitions, and the scars of war.
Cathie Pelletier was born and raised on the banks
of the St. John River, at the end of the road in Northern Maine. She is
the author of 9 other novels, including
The Funeral Makers (NYTBR Notable Book),
The Weight of Winter (winner of the New England Book Award) and
Running the Bulls (winner of the Paterson Prize for Fiction).
We've never had a novel by Cathie be so quick out of the starting
gate. It really seems to have struck a chord locally and the buzz on it
is very strong. Come check it out. Cathie will join us on Friday, May
17, at 7 PM.
