REVIEW OF MARKUS ZUSAK ' BRIDGE OF CLAY ' BY SUE PORTER

Markus Zusak , author of the ' Book Thief ', a huge Sunday Times and New York Times bestseller has released his latest book ' Bridge Of Clay ' which is guaranteed to be a number 1 bestseller .

It has taken over 10 years to write this book and oh my it is certainly worth it . The story revolves around five brothers , known locally as the Dunbar Boys who live in what can only be described as a crazy house , filled with a cacophony of animals , including a Mule called Archillies and a dog called Rosie . Five boys , five individual broken hearts and one nursing a secret .

The main character is Clay , known as the quiet one . His secret is haunting him an unspeakable act , one which the reader can only guess at . You do not find out until near the end of this story by which time you will be so engrossed you will feel every emotion Zusak has put into his words .

If you enjoyed the Book Thief , Bridge of Clay will wrap itself around you and will leave you , the reader , with an imprint on your heart long after you have finished this haunting tale .

Markus will be joining us for an event on the 30th October interviewed by John Boyne ( author of The Boy in Striped Pyjamas ).
