Bridge of Clay

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.
