Set in colonial Peru in the 18th century, The Bridge of San Luis Rey interweaves the stories of five people who die when an ancient rope bridge breaks and sends them plunging into a gulf. The book opens with an account of how a Franciscan monk witnessed the accident and spent his subsequent years amassing evidence to explain why God singled out these five for premature death.
