Synopsis

Historical Family Saga set in Hull, Yorkshire, UK.
 
What happens to a young couple when the first flush of love fades?
 
Alice and Amos Bell marry in 1925, when flappers and jazz prosper. But their struggle increases with the Depression years, followed by World War II. Amos Bell does not deal with the stormy relationships with his children or his wife.
 
Alice and her sister are ardent suffragists who live by their own rules, while their world overflows with parties, music, and dancing.
 
As Alice’s health declines, Amos’ infidelity dramas explode, with the German bombs dropping on Yorkshire being the least of their troubles.

    A New York Times Book Review Notable Book of the YearA Los Angeles Times Book Review Favorite Book of the YearSince her girlhood, Prudence Winship has gazed across the tidal straits from her home in Brooklyn to the city of Manhattan and yearned to bridge the distance. Now, established as the owner of the enormously successful gin distillery she inherited from her father, she can begin to realize her dream.Set in eighteenth-century Brooklyn, this is the story of a determined and intelligent woman who is consumed by a vision of a bridge: a gargantuan construction of timber and masonry she devises to cross the East River in a single, magnificent span. With the help of the local surveyor, Benjamin Horsfield, and her sisters—the high-spirited, obstreperous Tem, who works with her in the distillery, and the silent, uncanny Pearl—she fires the imaginations of the people of Brooklyn and New York by promising them a bridge that will meet their most pressing practical needs while being one of the most ambitious public works ever attempted. Prue's own life and the life of the bridge become inextricably bound together as the costs of the bridge, both financial and human, rise beyond her direst expectations.Brookland confirms Emily Barton's reputation as one of the finest writers of her generation, whose work is "blessedly post-ironic, engaging and heartfelt" (Thomas Pynchon).
