About this listen

 Oprah’s Book Club: Presented by Starbucks features coffee and conversation with Pulitzer Prize-winning author Richard Russo in the Emerald City of Seattle, Starbucks’ hometown. His much-heralded classic, Bridge of Sighs, is Oprah’s 117th book club selection. Published in 2007, The New York Times called the novel "richly evocative and beautifully wrought, delivered with deceptive ease." Surrounded by an audience of readers at a cozy Starbucks Café, Oprah talks to Richard about Bridge of Sighs, a story about small-town life, family, secrets and the complexity of marriage. Mostly taking place in the 1950s and 1960s, Richard also explores the contradictions of a time when America was rapidly changing. Oprah and Russo are joined by an audience of readers as they enjoy a Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Brew and talk through many thought-provoking questions about the book. BUY THE BOOK!
