From the author of the globally bestselling, multi-million-copy
classic, The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas, comes its astonishing and
powerful sequel. 'Gripping and well-honed...consummately
constructed, humming with tension... a defence of literature's need
to shine a light on the darkest aspects of human nature and it does
so with a novelist's skill, precision and power' The Guardian 'When
is a monster's child culpable? Guilt and complicity are
multifaceted. John Boyne is a maestro of historical fiction. You
can't prepare yourself for the magnitude and emotional impact of
this powerful novel.' John Irving '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 world's
greatest storytellers. ' Donal Ryan 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 doesn't talk about her escape from Germany
over seventy years before. She doesn't talk about the post-war
years in France with her mother. Most of all, she doesn't 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 can't 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 Henry's mother and his domineering father,
one that threatens Gretel's 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? All the Broken Places is a devastating,
beautiful story about a woman who must confront the sins of her
past and a present in which it is never too late for bravery.
