Welcome to this week’s edition of Friday Reads! Today I am sharing a few quotes from Bridge of Clay by Markus Zusak. The Book Thief is one of my favourite all-time books, so I am really excited about this new novel.
THIS WEEK’S BOOK: Bridge of CLay by Markus Zusak
Author: Markus Zusak
Genre: Contemporary, Young Adult
Publisher: Alfred A. Knopf Books for Young Readers
Publication Date: October 9, 2018
The breathtaking story of five brothers who bring each other up in a world run by their own rules. As the Dunbar boys love and fight and learn to reckon with the adult world, they discover the moving secret behind their father’s disappearance.
At the center of the Dunbar family is Clay, a boy who will build a bridge—for his family, for his past, for greatness, for his sins, for a miracle.
The question is, how far is Clay willing to go? And how much can he overcome?
Book Quotes: Bridge of Clay by Markus Zusak
BOOK BEGINNING
In the beginning, there was one murderer, one mule, and one boy, but this isn’t the beginning, it’s before it, it’s me, and I’m Matthew, and here I am, in the kitchen, in the night- the old river mouth of light- and I’m punching and punching away. The house is quiet around me.
FRIDAY 56
A silent declaration was made, and years of stable suffering was intolerable for another second; the chain was cracked, then broken.
THOUGHTS
So far, I am really enjoying Bridge of Clay. The book is one that takes requires full attention while you are reading, as so much is happening. I find that every time I set it down, I have to do a quick look back to remind myself what has happened so far.
