Bridge of Clay

I enjoyed Bridge of Clay by Markus Zusak (author of The Book Thief).  The story is set in a Sydney suburb and a property in the country, west of Sydney.  The narrator is Matthew, the eldest of five boys.  He tells the story of his parents and much of the story is about his brother Clay.  It's about men and boys dealing with tragedy.  Clay moves to his father's property west of their family home.  Together Clay and his father build a bridge which helps them heal.  The story has a slow start, but persevere.  This a big beautifully written book. 41/2/5
