The One-Way Bridge is an exquisitely written novel, reminiscent of Jonathan Franzen's Freedom and Elizabeth Strout's Olive Kitteridge, in which she returns her readers to their beloved Mattagash, Maine, the New England outpost of her wild and fertile imagination. 

Reaching across the vastness of North America and into the jungles of Vietnam, The One-Way Bridge is about change and pain and the legacy of history, an elegant testimony to place and time.
