Evan S. Connell

Mrs. Bridge

Romanen foregår i 1930'ernes og 40'ernes USA, som vi ser gennem øjnene på Mrs. Bridge. Hun tilhører det velbjergede borgerskab i Kansas City, har tre børn og en venlig og velmenende sagførerægtemand. Alligevel finder hun livet stadig mere forvirrende, og hun gribes i stigende grad af en vag, urovækkende følelse af, at alt ikke er, som det skulle være i hendes liv. En fantastisk velskrevet, sørgmunter og skarpt pointeret roman, der fanger den moralske forvirring, tomhed og endda rædsel, der kan opstå i et materielt trygt, men tiltagende meningstomt liv.
