Walter Bridge is an ambitious lawyer who redoubles his efforts and time at the office whenever he senses that his family needs something, even when what they need is more of him and less of his money. Affluence, material assets, and comforts create a cocoon of community respectability that cloaks the void within - not the skeleton in the closet but a black hole swallowing the whole household.
In this companion volume to Mrs. Bridge "... Connell completes his saga of sweet joylessness and blunted sensibility, of marriage, family and middle age on the Plains of Protestantism... A tour-de-force of contemporary American realism.

Mr. Bridge
Glimpses of the underpinnings of everyday life of one Mr. Bridge, a wealthy attorney in Kansas City circa 1930. Told in vignette form, his prides and his prejudices are shown.  His life is neatly halved, work and family. He sees no reason why the two should mingle. His wife is sheltered, naive, and repressed. Mr. Bridge is a man who values precision, who is easily annoyed, and more than a little self righteous. Keeping up appearances is all important. Â
This book is the counterpart to the novel entitled Mrs. Bridge, penned 10 years prior to this one. Both finely written, the author shines in his ability to keep the reader's interest without resorting to anything other than simple prose that is close to perfection.
