There  her life intersects with that of her neighbor Red Murdock  a cabinetmaker who has recently lost Rosaire  the great love of his life  to cancer. Surrounded by the old ghosts of this landscape and the echoes of the indigenous Scottish culture that once lived in this isolated community  Anna and Murdock slowly come together just as the modern world encroaches on their town. When a local drugsmuggling ring starts to impede on their natural landscape  Anna finds herself caught in the crosshairs  and both she and Murdock must shake off the past in order to contend with the dark forces swirling all around them.  Part love story  part moral fable  and part quest for home and heart  The Ice Bridge is a superbly crafted tale of love after love  a novel rich in atmosphere and infused with lyrical descriptions of land and sea. It is about timeless characters caught in a distinctly modern world. Written with an ear for the cadences of Cape Breton and a profound understanding of the many emotional shadings that exist between the sexes  The Ice Bridge is another superb work from D.R. MacDonald.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67923776864309,"sku":"ByrdShop_1619021188","price":68.68,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781619021181.jpg?v=1794114227","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-ice-bridge-a-novel-9781619021181","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
