"If you liked Olive Kitteridge, you'll love The One-Way Bridge."Lee Smith, author of The Last Girls
In her highly anticipated new novel, acclaimed literary master Cathie Pelletier returns to Mattagash, Maine, the beloved New England town where it all started.
Welcome to Mattagash, the last town in the middle of the northern Maine wilderness. The road dead-ends here, but Mattagash's citizens are fiercely proud.
Yet this simple town connected by a single one-way bridge is anything but tranquil. While neighbors bicker publicly over trivialities such as offensive mailbox designs and gossip about suspicious newcomers, they privately struggle to navigate deeper issuesscandals, loss, failed ambitions, the scars of war...and a mysterious dead body in the woods.
With her trademark wit and keen eye for detail, Pelletier has assembled an unforgettable cast of endearing and eccentric characters, from scheming mailmen and peeping toms to lovesick waitresses and loggers whose underhandedness belies their ingenuity. The citizens of Mattagash will make you laugh and cheer for them as they stumble into one another's lives and strive to define themselves in a changing world that threatens to leave them behind.
The One-Way Bridge is an extraordinary portrait of family, loneliness, and communityand the kinds of compromises we all make in the name of love.

Críticas
""Pelletier's long-awaited addition to the tragicomic annals of fictional Mattagash, Maine, [The "One-Way Bridge" is] a welcome return for the author." " - Kirkus
This particular tale of two men coming to loggerheads on a one-way bridge isn't peculiar; it hums softly with authenticity and sincerity.
"I loved [The One-Way Bridge]...[Pelletier's] characters, with all of their flaws and synchronicities, are all believable and lovable. I've looked forward to a new book by Cathie for some time and she hasn't disappointed with this one. " - Susan Porter, Maine Coast Book Shop, Damariscotta, ME
"Cathie does a wonderful job of capturing [her characters'] moods and loves and losses, and yearnings...Her writing is lovely and so descriptive" - Annie Philbrick, Bank Square Books, Mystic, CT
"The author has a lyrical, almost musical way of describing things at times which is entirely enjoyable and a great credit to her writing ability. The descriptions were so rich and detailed, but not unnecessarily so that it was easy to picture each and everything described within." - Novels Escape
"The novel is quirky and delightfully eccentric with some truly comedic moments. Pelletier is spot on when describing her characters' interpersonal relationships, their misunderstandings and oddities. She's definitely captured the feel of a rural small town and the personalities that give it its unique character. " - BookN Around
"It's hilarious. If you go to Maine, you'll love it." - Danvers reads
"What really stood out in this story for me were the characters. They literally jump off the page. You feel like you know these people. Sharing their joyful moments, sometimes painful memories, their dreams, expectations, losses... This was the first novel I've read by Cathie Pelletier but it certainly won't be my last." - My Real Life Reviews
"This particular tale of two men coming to loggerheads on a one-way bridge... hums softly with authenticity and sincerity." - Furor Scribendi
