Sinossi
«C'era una volta, nella marea del passato dei Dunbar, una donna che aveva molti nomi.» C'erano stati anche un nonno con la passione per i miti greci, una nonna e la sua macchina da scrivere, un pianoforte consegnato nel posto sbagliato, una ragazza con le lentiggini che amava le corse dei cavalli, e un padre che, dopo la morte della moglie, aveva abbandonato i suoi cinque figli: Matthew, Rory, Henry, Clay e Tommy. I fratelli Dunbar. Costretti a vivere soli, e a definire da soli le regole della propria esistenza. E quando il padre tornerà sarà Clay l'unico dei fratelli che accetterà di aiutarlo e costruire con lui un ponte, concreto e metaforico nello stesso tempo: lo farà per la sua famiglia, per il loro passato, per il loro futuro, per espiare le colpe, per affrontare il dolore. Lo farà perché lui è l'unico che conosce tutta la storia, e per questo è obbligato a sperare. Ma fino a che punto Clay potrà portare avanti la più difficile di tutte le sue corse? Quanti degli ostacoli che la vita gli ha posto davanti riuscirà a superare? Quanta sofferenza può sopportare un ragazzo?

It's always about love isn't it? Everyone feels it, nobody truly understands it. In this novel we learn the story of 'Clay Dunbar', the silent one, the boy with too much heart. One of five misfit brothers, the tireless unstoppable runner, an immovable force of nature. Training beyond meaning, relen
Well, what can I say about this book? I found it totally mesmerising! It took a while to get going, but suddenly you find you can't put it down! It follows the lives of the five Dunbar boys, told from the point of view of the eldest Matthew, but it concentrates on the fourth boy Clay. After their mo Leggi tutto
*deep breath* I'm ready to write this review. Markus Zusak is my all time favourite author and with Bridge of Clay he has just solidified that position further. I fell in love with his writing in The Book Thief and then The Messenger and now with Bridge of Clay. I always tell people that going into
“A murderer should probably do many things, but he should never, under any circumstances, come home.” 🌟 After 11 or 12 years of waiting, you’d think that the author will write the next big thing. Unfortunately he wrote the next big disappointment and I fell from this Bridge of Clay into a sea of di Leggi tutto
The only thing worse than not liking a book is knowing you are probably in the minority with that opinion. I'm left with a feeling of what did I miss? The plot is good but I just could never get into the writing style. I'll go sit in my corner alone now while everyone else has an amazing reading exp Leggi tutto
3.5 ⭐️ “We can’t do anything. One of us writes, and one of us reads. We can’t do anything but me tell it, and you see it.” Ok, so this is a very slow read. It definitely didn’t need to be 570 pages. It also flicks between timelines every chapter, which for me made it hard to follow and therefore les Leggi tutto
I’ve had this book on my to be read shelf for a really long time. I feel like this is a book you either love or hate. I just didn’t get it. The plot is appealing and something I think I should like. 🧐 But the story itself is painfully slow and all over the place. I couldn’t latch onto any character. Leggi tutto
