I've just had another look and yes, it's classified as "Mystery/Thriller" but reading the few reviews that have come up it's more a domestic drama, so I'm going to say Mystery/Contemporary. I'll still read it ;)

No I haven't. Perhaps it's a self-pub with her own press - some authors do that :)

Carolyn | 9840 comments One of our mods might have more information on this but I read in the w'end papers that Markus Zusak has a new book coming out on 9th October, Bridge of Clay from Picador. His first since The Book Thief was published in 2005.


message 1670: by Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen (new)

Brenda | 79994 comments Mod
Finally!!!!! That's been on the to be published list for years Carolyn! Thanks - I'll see if I can find out some more :) Great news!


message 1671: by Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen (new)

Brenda | 79994 comments Mod
It looks like only Hardcover at the moment and 592 pages (PenguinUK site). A Young Adult novel as well.. It'll be good to get more information as we get closer to October :) Thanks again Carolyn!


message 1672: by Carolyn (new)

Carolyn | 9840 comments It was in Stephen Romei's column. Not much more information except that Zusak was quoted as saying took quite a few attempts to write, but he loves it now and thinks it's 'big-hearted'. Sounds promising!


message 1673: by Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen (new)

Brenda | 79994 comments Mod
It does - I'm keen to read it (not too keen on the page count though!)

Why is every second book these days called "The .......'s daughter" or wife? Eventually all the titles will run together and we won't be able to recall which is which.

message 1681: by Ryan (new)

Ryan Because women buy the most books, and publishers want you to be in no doubt that there is a female protagonist in this one.

You could be right Ryan 😊

I actually find it a bit of a turn-off now. Definitely do not want to read any more books with 'girl' in the title and getting that way with 'daughter'!
