Moving Masterpiece
Madeline H. - 6 years 5 months agoThis book is an incredibly woven narrative of the young Dunbar brothers and their parents. The writing is incredible, somehow capturing complex feelings and ideas with only words. It is almost poetic in the imagery. Never before have I read a book that paints such three dimensional joy and pain. No character is just good or bad, they are human. Even the most minor characters feel like living, breathing people. Bridge of Clay shows an organic relationship among brothers who take care of each other and fight with each other and show love in different ways. The complexity of the sibling relationships and child-parent relationships is moving. This book made me laugh and cry and feel like the wind was knocked out of me. You spend much of the book trying to figure out what burden Clay Dunbar is carrying, piecing together the story of the boys parallel to the story of their parents. It is a story that above all, will make you feel. This is a genius of a story that everyone should read. It deserves a place among Mark Zusak's most famous novel, The Book Thief, and is somehow more subtle but more powerful and relatable.
