    From the moment he was born, Julian Wainwright has lived a life of Waspy privilege. When he arrives, in the fall of 1986, Julian meets Carter Heinz, a scholarship student from California with whom he develops a strong but ambivalent friendship. Now, spending time with Julian, Carter seethes with resentment. Then, one day, flipping through the college facebook, Julian and Carter see a photo of Mia Mendelsohn. But Julian gets to Mia first, meeting her by chance in the college laundry room. summarized from Amazon.com

  • Description and Reviews

    Lucy and Sarah are also preparing for a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Italy, where his oldest friend, a renowned painter, has exiled himself far from anything they’d known in childhood. Bridge of Sighs is classic Russo, coursing with small-town rhythms and the claims of family, yet it is brilliantly enlarged by an expatriate whose motivations and experiences—often contrary, sometimes not—prove every bit as mesmerizing as they resonate through these richly different lives. summarized from Amazon.com
