Bridge From Nowhere

This engrossing novel tells the story of one woman’s determination to find a better life in the US, giving a dimension to the immigrant’s life not often seen. The protagonist, Anya Fishman, a complex character worthy of Chekhov or Dostoevsky, flees the Soviet Union. In America, she finds support among the Russian community—but not without a price—and the opportunity she so wanted, which she pursues relentlessly. Yet Anya finds herself linked emotionally to the past, especially to the one man who helped her find joy in her troubled life. Still, neither wishful remembrances nor newfound success nor a new love can deter her from her goal, which is to achieve autonomy for herself and her child. Well-written, insightful, and often surprising, with scenes that portray raw emotion and explicit passion, BRIDGE FROM NOWHERE captivates the reader with Anya’s authentic and fascinating tale.
