Description
Sheltering two illegal immigrants from postwar Italy comes with unexpected consequences for Eddie and Beatrice Carbone. Set in 1950s America, A View from the Bridge is a story of forbidden love and its endless fallouts, though it has timely ties to today's immigration debate. As Eddie's obsession with his wife's niece, Catherine, grows beyond appropriate paternal concern and affection, he challenges Rodolpho, the undocumented immigrant she has fallen in love with--accusing him of using her to gain citizenship. Eddie's anger eventually ends up impacting his entire community in ways he never intended. (DSJ)
