Bridge of Clay, by Markus Zusak
5.0
If I could give this novel and author 10 stars I would.
I listened the author narrating the Audible version. His authentic Australian dialect/accent made a huge impact on the vernacular of each phrase, exclamation and cultural reference. I believe it’s important to how well the book will be received.
However, when the I reached the end I immediately started over from the beginning and realized I also need this book in print form. And a second reading will be like reading another more fleshed out details because the author immerses the reader into the world of Dunbars. So many subtle details and transitions from small chapter to chapter and past to present as the author helps the reader uncover/discover more and more about the main story/plot. I felt for these characters and what had happened and what might happen as I went deeper and deeper into the novel.
I’ve loved ever novel by Markus Zusak and I think this is a masterpiece. I am going to finish my second read and may update this review.
Highly recommend this novel if you like excellent story telling.
