Between The Pages - Bridges

Bridges 

Linda Griffin 

April 2022 

In 1963, Neil Vincent, a middle-aged World War II veteran and "Christian atheist," is working at Westfield Court as a chauffeur. He spends most of his spare time reading. 

Mary Claire DeWinter is a young, blind, Catholic college student and reluctant heiress. To secure her inheritance, she has to marry within a year, and her aunt is pressuring her to marry a rich man who teased and bullied her when she was a child. 

Neil and Mary Claire shouldn't even be friends, but the gulf between them is bridged by a shared love of books. Can they cross the bridge to more? 

Between The Pages 

The plot in this book was very interesting. The author draws the reader in with an older hero and a blind heroine. Their friendship and budding relationship were written wonderfully. The dialogue between Neil and Mary Claire is enjoyable and places you within the pages. The story is told through the point of view of just the hero, and while it didn’t deter the enjoyment of the story, if Mary Claire’s voice had been included, the emotional level would have been raised even higher. Overall, the story was sweet, emotional, and touching as both Neil and Mary Claire overcome the bridges standing between them.
