The Bridge of Clay

Über

Ten years in the making the epic new novel from the acclaimed, award-winning, bestselling author of THE BOOK THIEF

Here is a story told inside out and back to front:

The five Dunbar brothers are living – fighting, learning, loving – in the perfect chaos of a house without grown-ups. Today, the father who walked out on them long ago is about to walk right back in.

And so the life of Clay, the quiet one with a harrowing secret, is set to change for ever.

From a grandfather who sought answers in the words of the Ancient Greeks, to a mother and father who fell in love over a lost piano, to five sons who come of age in a house with no rules: this is a tale of a family held together only by stories – a family at whose heart lies one boy's epic quest for atonement.

At once an emotional mystery and an existential riddle, BRIDGE OF CLAY sees Markus Zusak at his dramatic best.

Markus Zusak's epic new novel BRIDGE OF CLAY is due out this October 2018
