Bridge of Clay

Synopsis

The Dunbar boys bring each other up in a house run by their own rules. A family of ramshackle tragedy - their mother is dead, their father has fled - they love and fight, and learn to reckon with the adult world. It is Clay, the quiet one, who will build a bridge; for his family, for his past, for his sins. He builds a bridge to transcend humanness. To survive. A miracle and nothing less. Winner of the Indie Book Award for Fiction 2019. Shortlisted for the ABIA Book of the Year Award 2019. Longlisted for the Dublin Literary Award 2020.
