And the Bridge Is Love by David Biro is the story of the friendship between three women in their fifties and sixties. Gertie is choking on her food in a park at the foot of the Verrazzano-Narrows bridge in New York City, when Maria and Corinna rush to save the stranger. This leads the trio to become fast friends. Gertie is a divorcee and parent to an estranged adult daughter. Maria is a widow still in love with her deceased husband. Corinna is devoted to the seniors at the residence where she works. They meet once a week at the same park and watch the boats going out into the world as they develop a supportive friendship, over a period of twenty years. But life changes and the three women find their friendship is fracturing for many reasons. This is relationship fiction at its finest. The author’s words lead the readers to feel as if they know these women and want to spend more time with them. The characters are multi-faceted, flawed and interesting. I look forward to reading more books by David Biro. Highly recommended. Thank you to Lake Union Publishing, NetGalley and the author for the e-ARC in exchange for an honest review.
