About this listen
When Alton's ageing, blind uncle asks him to attend bridge games with him, he agrees. After all, it's better than a crappy summer job in the local shopping mall, and Alton's mother thinks it might secure their way to a good inheritance sometime in the future.But, like all apparently casual choices in any of Louis Sachar's wonderful books, this choice soon turns out to be a lot more complex than Alton could ever have imagined. As his relationship with his uncle develops, and he meets the very attractive Toni, deeply buried secrets are uncovered and a romance that spans decades is finally brought to a conclusion.Alton's mother is in for a surprise!©2010 Louis Sachar (P)2010 Random House Inc

Now I want to play Bridge
We listened to this audio on an epic car journey and we were all enthralled (2 adults, a 13yr and and 11yr old) - the relationships in the story weaved beautifully through the mechanics and joy of bridge. A unique book written by a fantastic author

A wonderful story
Only Louis Sacher could create an enthralling narrative out of competitive bridge! A beautifully constructed story - which interlinks in the most satisfying way - about a shy teenage boy and his rich, blind uncle. Unflowery, lean writing, but a real profundity to this tale. A really special audiobook!
