More than a decade after the bookthief Markus Zusak returns! His newest novel tells the story of the five Dunbar brothers, who lead an unusual yet regulated life until Clay decides to change something. Clay builds a bridge both in literal and metaphorical sense to overcome the past and bring his family back together.

Bridge of Clay shines because of Zusak's writing style: in part lyrical, often volatile and full of unusual similes and metaphores. The moving past and peculiar present of the Dunbar family are told in an unpredictable chronological order. Bridge of Clay is different from Zusak's other books, it's something truly special that stands out from the mass.
