Description: All The Broken Places by John Boyne Ninety-one-year-old Gretel Fernsby has lived in the same mansion block in London for decades. She leads a comfortable, quiet life, despite her dark and disturbing past. She doesnt talk about her escape from Germany over seventy years before. She doesnt talk about the post-war years in France with her mother. Most of all, she doesnt talk about her father, the commandant of one of the most notorious Nazi concentration camps.Then, a young family moves into the apartment below her. In spite of herself, Gretel cant help but begin a friendship with the little boy, Henry, though his presence brings back memories she would rather forget. One night, she witnesses a violent argument between Henrys mother and his domineering father, one that threatens Gretels hard-won, self-contained existence.Gretel is faced with a chance to expiate her guilt, grief and remorse and act to save a young boy - for the second time in her life. But to do so, she will be forced to reveal her true identity to the world. Will she make a different choice this time, whatever the cost to herself?

Review Gripping and well-honed...consummately constructed, humming with tension... a defence of literatures need to shine a light on the darkest aspects of human nature and it does so with a novelists skill, precision and power * The Guardian *What an incredible feat of storytelling. All the Broken Places is a stark confrontation of evil, an examination of guilt and deflection, and an old-fashioned page-turner. John treads the finest of narrative lines with skill and grace and proves himself yet again to be among the worlds greatest storytellers. * Donal Ryan *An eloquent meditation on guilt, complicity and redemption.. a remarkable novel, with humanity at its core * Mail on Sunday *Beautifully told and gripping from first page to last * Sunday Express *This novel, this exceptional, layered and compelling story, is built on modern history and all of us people who live it. The protagonist, the elderly, forthright and mysterious Mrs. Fernsby, is more than memorable and every one of Boynes characters, and every scene, dark or light, is limned in truth and insight. This book moves like a freight train,with force and consequence for the reader. * Amy Bloom * Promotional From the author of the globally bestselling, multi-million-copy classic, The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas, and The Hearts Invisible Furies.
