Bridge Over What?


Pearson Education (myPEARSONstore)
What does a bridge mean to you?  It could signify a physical means of communication between two areas of land to cross over from one side to the other.  It could also represent verbal connectivity between two persons or a group of people.


Author Terrence J. Goodchild in his book The Bridge of Sorrel introduced Brad and Claudette who were trying to make a love connection. This development led them down a winding path of new discoveries and suspense.

I wrote this review on 7 April 2014.  I gave it 4 stars.  This is what author Goodchild said about my review:-

"great review. keep up the good work."

The Bridge of Sorrel is an enjoyable story based on Brad, a bachelor who is searching for love. He meets an attractive lady, Claudette, whose grandfather is Brad’s boss. Ultimately, Brad is introduced to Claudette’s family and is invited to participate in a work assignment in his capacity as an architect. The task is to build a bridge across a river in a remote area called Sorrel. The aim is to reintegrate this district with the rest of society. When they reach Sorrel, Claudette and Brad encounter opposition from the locals to their well-intentioned desire to uplift the living standards. They later learnt that Sorrel was in fact a film set that was constructed for the filming of a movie called Sleepy Hollow. Further investigations by Brad and Claudette resulted in their capture by the Josef, the man in charge of the “village”. According to author Terrence Goodchild, these local people were in fact aliens who can travel through time.



The Bridge of Sorrel is a very interesting book that grabs a reader’s attention. I enjoyed the unexpected twist at the end. This book contains elements of romance and suspense and I believe that Mr. Goodchild has done a good job in combining the two to create a delightful reading experience. He also explored the importance of bonding in terms of relationships through his characters. Brad experienced love with two different women and he even felt a kinship with his buddies. The portrayal of Brad’s personal love interests exemplifies a realistic view of actual relationships that are formed. At some point in our lives, we might travel by public transport and like Brad it is possible to fall in love with someone you meet on the bus or train. I recommend The Bridge of Sorrel to anyone who loves to read a fast paced drama filled with suspense.
