Overview:
From the author of the globally bestselling, multi-million-copy classic, The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas, comes its astonishing and powerful sequel.
All the Broken Places is a stark confrontation of evil, an examination of guilt and deflection, and an old-fashioned page-turner.
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.
