."..When the book's quiet prose rises to the level of philosophical reflection and moral critique, it becomes a kind of meditation on beauty... Perhaps the ice bridge of the title is a metaphor for the fragile ties that connect dying communities like Cape Seal with their more prosperous past, or for our tenuous attempts to make genuine contact with other people. (The cultural differences that separate Cape Breton and California color Murdock and Anna's slow courtship in ways that are both poignant and, at times, humorous.) Then again, the ice bridge might represent our attempts to be complete people, to connect ourselves with ourselves... "The Ice Bridge" is full of nice words that come together in a sweet way, but it is part of MacDonald's maturity as a writer that he does not pretend that beauty -- the beauty of words or a landscape or a lovely face -- can resolve life's contradictions." --"The Washington Post"
."..masterful...Set against a harsh landscape of land and sea, "The Ice Bridge" is a moving story of grief, love, isolation, and the elements." --"San Jose Mercury News"
""[The Ice Bridge]" transcends cliches in its depiction of an isolated community contending with a magnificent and at times overwhelming natural landscape. It also grapples with the global socioeconomic forces undermining communities of all sizes with far more subtlety and insight than most urban fiction...in prose reminiscent of D. H. Lawrence, MacDonald captures the almost hopeless struggle to comprehend the consciousness of another person and another time." --"Quill & Quire"

Reseña del editor
Anna Starling flees a dissolving marriage in California to save herself and her artistic career, and rents a house in the isolated landscape of Cape Breton. There, her life intersects with that of her neighbor Red Murdock, a cabinetmaker who has recently lost Rosaire, the great love of his life, to cancer. Surrounded by the old ghosts of this landscape and the echoes of the indigenous Scottish culture that once lived in this isolated community, Anna and Murdock slowly come together just as the modern world encroaches on their town. When a local drug-smuggling ring starts to impede on their natural landscape, Anna finds herself caught in the crosshairs, and both she and Murdock must shake off the past in order to contend with the dark forces swirling all around them.
Part love story, part moral fable, and part quest for home and heart, The Ice Bridge is a superbly crafted tale of love after love, a novel rich in atmosphere and infused with lyrical descriptions of land and sea. It is about timeless characters caught in a distinctly modern world. Written with an ear for the cadences of Cape Breton and a profound understanding of the many emotional shadings that exist between the sexes, The Ice Bridge is another superb work from D.R. MacDonald.
