Alexander’s Bridge

Description

Bartley Alexander seems to be a real stand-up guy, as well as a brilliant civil engineer who not only has everything going for him in terms of finances and success, but also has a successful marriage that has lasted for over 12 years. However, while this exterior image might fool many, it soon becomes clear from comments made by his wife, Winifred Alexander and professor Lucius Wilson – the college professor who tutored Bartley more than 20 years earlier – that something might not be quite right with Bartley’s personality.

If you feel enticed to read further, you will discover the full extent of how deep Alexander’s Bridge ventures into the secrets of the human male’s psyche.
