The Other Side of the Bridge by Mary Lawson

 In a small town in Northern Ontario, Arthur and his brother Jake are divided by temperament, ambition and their shared love for the same woman. Arthur and Jake are brothers yet worlds apart. Arthur is shy, dutiful and set to inherit his father's farm.

Jake is handsome and reckless, and dangerous to know. When Laura arrives in their community, tensions are pushed to the edge of tragedy... Spanning the 1930s to the post-war years, The Other Side of the Bridge explores love, betrayal and the enduring weight of memory within a tightly bound rural community.
