All The Broken Places is the
follow up story to the Boy In the Striped Pyjamas – a book which had me sobbing
on a packed commuter train many years ago.
This time we hear the story of 91
year old Gretel, Bruno’s elder sister who is now living in London and trying to
put her dark past behind her, but she finds that she cannot shrug off the guilt
of her father’s War Crimes.
Now a widow with a grown up son and
living in Mayfair, Gretel finds herself defending a young boy who has moved
into the apartment below.
This is another thought provoking
read yet again from John Boyne. It is a powerful tale following on from Bruno
and Shmuel.
A beautiful book which will stay
in your heart forever.
