About this listen

Peru, 1714. A centuries-old bridge suddenly snaps, sending five travelers plunging to their deaths. Brother Juniper, a devout and curious monk, sets out to answer a haunting question: Why these five? In seeking meaning in tragedy, he unearths the hidden stories of the victims—their passions, regrets, and quiet moments of grace.

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize, The Bridge of San Luis Rey is a profound meditation on love, destiny, and the invisible threads that bind us. Thornton Wilder’s timeless novel asks a question we still wrestle with today: In a world full of suffering, is there any meaning behind the chaos?
