★ An Amazon Best Children's Book of the Year selection
NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY • THE WALL STREET JOURNAL
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."

"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.

Herausragend, wie erwartet. Es ist immer wieder das Gleiche mit Zusak. Die Protagonisten wachsen einem derart ans Herz, dass man mit fühlt, vor allem aber auch mitleidet, dass es kaum zum aushalten ist. Und dennoch fällt es schwer, sie am Ende verlassen zu müssen! Ein Buch, was sicher noch lange nachhallen wird!

This was such a beautiful story! Markus Zusak tells a story about the five Dunbar boys, bringing themselves up, after their mother died and their father left them in the suburbs of Australia. Matthew, the eldest, tells the tale, that follows Clay. The boy who builds the bridge. Literally and metaphorically. The timeline jumps between the lives of the boys and the flashbacks of the young Michael and Penelope, the parents. I found it a little confusing but it didn't slow down the pace of the story. I loved the lovestory of Michael and Penelope. They met, fell in love and had this wonderful family with 5 rowdy boys. And then life happens and Penelope dies of cancer. We follow the world of pain of each of the children. I loved how well fleshed out their individual emotional lives were. Their loss is devastating, especially after their father leaves them. He becomes the Murderer for them. Because on that day the Dunbar boys died. And then there is Clay, looking for his father, for reasons, and the bridge, only he can build. Zusaks writing is rich and mesmerizing. I loved the audiobook and will definetely keep this author on the radar.

3.5. Wonderful characters and sentiment. Could have used an editor with a heavier hand. little too drawn out.
