📖 Book Synopsis
The story is set in 18th-century colonial Peru. On Friday, July 20, 1714, the country's most beautiful wicker bridge, built by the Incas a century earlier on the road between Lima and Cuzco, unexpectedly breaks, plunging five travelers into the abyss.
Brother Junípero, a Franciscan friar who witnesses the tragedy, becomes obsessed with an existential question: Was it a mere accidental occurrence or part of a divine plan? From that moment on, the friar undertakes a meticulous investigation that will last years, reconstructing the lives of the five victims before destiny united them in that fateful second. A literary journey that explores whether there is a hidden direction in our lives or if love is the only true bridge that survives death.
