Published in 2018 by Australian author Markus Zusak, 'Bridge of Clay' is a skillfully crafted story of grief and perseverance. Written after the success of Zusak's famous historical fiction novel, 'The Book Thief,' it took inspiration from the Homerian writing process of 'The Odyssey' to form - in a war of words - over the course of nine years.
