What an incredible book.
I had really enjoyed The Book Thief by Markus Zusak, so thought I would give Bridge of Clay a go also. Markus does not disappoint. I had read a few reviews, and a couple of them are quite disappointing, as this book is nothing but incredibly amazing. It is extremely well written, it really hits you emotionally, so make sure you have a box of tissues beside you.
The story is about the Dunbar family, and their 5 boys. The story is told by Matthew the eldest son but it is Clay's story, the 4th boy in the family whose story Matthew is telling.
It is written in multiple time lines, which could be confusing for some, but I found this extremely clever of the author, as shows that behind every story, there is a back story, a history, a reason why things happened the way they did.
I highly recommend this book to everyone, it is truly lifechanging!
5 Stars: It was amazing. It was compelling, well-researched, entertaining and/or moving and often complex. I will definitely want to read more books by this author.
