Arthur is left to deal with the mess Jake has made. Arthur marries Laura and raises Jake’s son as his own. Eventually, they have two more children. Mrs. Dunn: Arthur and Jake's mother. Has had multiple miscarriages in the past leading to her overprotective nature of Jake. This was my first Mary Lawson, bought on spec. Turns out she’s quite a price winner, twice being long-listed for the Booker. I thought this novel was amazing. The action happens at two time periods and the past catches up with the present. We follow the destinies of two brothers on a northern Ontario farm, who are as different as night and day. Laura Dunn: Reverend March's daughter. Comes with him when he comes to take over for Reverend Gordon. Falls in love with Jake and gets pregnant with his child resulting in Arthur marrying her to avert her crisis.Arthur throws Jake from the house and forces him into his car, seriously beating Jake in the process. The final cruelty comes when Jake accidentally runs over his own son with his car, killing him. Jake Dunn: Wheat-colored hair, triangular face, Arthur's brother. Excels at school and women. Four years younger than Arthur. Falls off the bridge in Chapter 4. Has a permanent limp after. Penelope Lively in The Guardian wrote "Tragedy abounds in the novel, but such is its humanity and its wisdom that the effect is not dismaying, but somehow reassuring. Appalling things happen, and are done, but in the last resort ordinary decency somehow wins out. This is a fine book – an enthralling read, both straightforward and wonderfully intricate" [4]

' Odd-numbered chapters are told from the point-of-view of Ian Christopherson, the son of a doctor who takes a job on Arthur Dunn’s farm, chiefly to be near Laura Dunn. Even-numbered chapters follow Arthur Dunn. The older of the two Dunn brothers, Arthur is repeatedly portrayed as a large, lumbering, slow-thinking man happiest plowing the fields of his farm near the fictional town of Struan, in Northern Canada. After the fall, Arthur and Jake’s relationship is different, and the two are more consciously enemies. This becomes the defining element of their relationship from then on. Louise Doughty in The Independent finished with "Her Booker longlisting should be a source of joy for everyone tired of self-indulgent "look at me" writing. The Other Side of the Bridge is a beautiful read, on every level." [5] Beth Christopherson: Ian's mother and Dr. Christopherson's wife. She leaves Ian and Dr. Christopherson in Chapter 3 because she no longer loves Dr. Christopherson anymore. She moves to Toronto with Robert Patterson, Ian's teacher.
