ALL THE BROKEN PLACES

boyne, john
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.

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 herselfAll 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.
