About this listen
The unforgettable New York Times best-selling family saga from Markus Zusak, the storyteller who gave us the extraordinary best seller 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 and 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.
©2018 Markus Zusak (P)2018 Listening LibraryWhat the critics say
"In a complex narrative that leaps through time and place and across oceans, Zusak paints a vivid portrait of the brothers trying to regain their balance by keeping their family’s story alive." (Time)
“A captivating book with a mighty, fearless heart, Bridge of Clay is filled with characters to believe in and care about...achingly moving, delightfully funny, and thoroughly uplifting.” (M. L. Stedman, best-selling author of The Light Between Oceans)
“If The Book Thief was a novel that allowed Death to steal the show...[its] brilliantly illuminated follow-up is affirmatively full of life.” (The Guardian)

Poetic
I must admit that I found this book a bit a difficult to get into at first. It seemed complicated and confusing, but I am SO GLAD that I stuck with it. It unfolded into such a wonderful tale of humanity, love, and loss. I was deeply touched and it left a lasting imprint. Markus Zusak's writing is as poetic and melodic as ever and his narration was captivating.

Women in Refridgerators
The story is fantastic except for how women are introduced so that their leaving or dying spurs on men's personal development. It is an obnoxious trope and a real kill joy in an otherwise excellent story of brothers and lives of struggle with beautifully rendered characters.

Loved it
This novel is so beautiful. You have to give it a good 150 pages and then it unfolds in something you will miss when it is done.

Vague
This was like a beautiful photograph that was torn up, taped back together randomly and then handed off to be seen through a blurred filter. I really can’t understand why the author took this approach. The only reason I stuck with this story is because I loved The Book Thief and thought eventually I would come to love this book too.
Narration was as good as any other.
Would not recommend this book, which is unfortunate. It had so much potential.
