Bridge of Clay

By Markus Zusak

Book Overview

The unforgettable, New York Times bestselling family saga from Markus Zusak, the storyteller who gave us the extraordinary bestseller THE BOOK THIEF, lauded by the New York Times as "the kind of book that can be life-changing."

NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY - THE WALL STREET JOURNAL

"One of those monumental books that can draw you across space and time into another family's experience in the most profound way." --The Washington Post

"Mystical and loaded with heart, it's another gorgeous tearjerker from a rising master of them." --Entertainment Weekly

"Devastating, demanding and deeply moving." --Wall Street Journal

The breathtaking story of five brothers who bring each other up in a world run by their own rules. As the Dunbar boys love and fight and learn to reckon with the adult world, they discover the moving secret behind their father's disappearance.

At the center of the Dunbar family is Clay, a boy who will build a bridge--for his family, for his past, for greatness, for his sins, for a miracle.

The question is, how far is Clay willing to go? And how much can he overcome?

Written in powerfully inventive language and bursting with heart, BRIDGE OF CLAY is signature Zusak.

Customer Reviews

Very disappointing

This was disappointing after the book thief. Like it was written by a different person altogether. Wow.

An interesting book

I must say, I'm proud of myself for reading a book that is not the normal type I pick up. This book as described by the author is inside out, backwards, upside down of a story, yet it grabbed me from the start till the end, page 537! It's jumps back and forth from present to past and it makes sense. It's a beautiful story.
