Known and loved by millions of readers and around the world as the author of the runaway success The Book Thief, one of Australia's youngest best-selling authors Markus Zusak tells Kathryn Ryan about his new novel Bridge of Clay.

It's a family saga spanning decades, telling the story of Clay, the middle of five Dunbar boys; teenagers on the brink of adulthood, grieving for their mother, abandoned by their father. Two decades in the writing, in turns Bridge of Clay is poetic, funny, moving and tragic.

Markus Zusak tells Kathryn Ryan about writing it.
