Bridge of Clay by Markus Zusak
4.0
Markus Zusak secured his place as one my favourite authors with The Messenger and The Book Thief; Bridge of Clay did not disappoint.
"Most of what it had, it had one:
One primary school, one high school.
One river, one doctor.
One Chinese restaurant, one supermarket.
And four pubs."
Zusak captures the heart of the Australian landscape effortlessly, as he introduces it as a character unto itself. Moving from rural scenes to contemporary cities, the story enables Zusak to explore the changing scenery of Australia.
The characters were extremely well developed; all moving towards goals and desires without sacrificing character arcs for the sake of a cheap plot twist. By the end of the book, I felt almost saddened to know the Dunbar Boys would no longer occupy my time.
It has become evident that Bridge of Clay's status as a best seller is well deserved.
