BookPeople will present Markus Zusak, who will talk about his new book, Bridge of Clay, a sweeping family saga chronicling the lives of five brothers who bring each other up in a world run on 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.
