Edie Meidav, author of CRAWL SPACE
& Emily Barton, author of BROOKLAND
Set in eighteenth-century Brooklyn, Brookland is the story of a determined
and intelligent woman who is consumed by a vision of a bridge: a
gargantuan construction of timber and masonry she devises to cross the
East River in a single, magnificent span. With the help of the local
surveyor, Benjamin Horsfield, and her sisters-the high-spirited,
obstreperous Tem, who works with her in the distillery, and the
silent, uncanny Pearl-she fires the imaginations of the people of
Brooklyn and New York by promising them a bridge that will meet their
most pressing practical needs while being one of the most ambitious
public works ever attempted. Prue’s own life and the life of the
bridge become inextricably bound together as the costs of the bridge,
both financial and human, rise beyond her direst expectations.
