Sometimes life is not easy. We all have things that have shaped who we are, and it's not always the fun things that stand out. Bridge of Clay by Markus Zusak tells the story of five brothers and how life and loss have shaped them. The book tells the story of Clay as written by his older brother; but it is really two stories in one, as we read the history of Michael and Penelope Dunbar and how love and death and survival touched the lives of their five sons. As the father deals with loss in his way, the sons are left to deal with the loss of both the living and the dead. Can healing be found and bridges be built that can fill the sense of loss? This book has sophisticated writing and will touch the emotions as estranged relationships are repaired.
