All The Broken Places

Beskrivelse

A powerful sequel to the bestselling classic, The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas, All The Broken Places follows ninety-one-year-old Gretel Fernsby as she navigates a quiet life shadowed by her haunting past. When a new family moves in downstairs, long-buried memories and difficult choices resurface.

A gripping tale of confronting past sins and finding courage in the present.

Gretel Fernsby has lived quietly in a London mansion block for decades, keeping her dark history tightly sealed. She never speaks of her escape from Germany over seventy years ago, the years spent in post-war France with her mother, or most importantly, her father-the commandant of a notorious Nazi concentration camp.

Her carefully guarded world begins to shift when a young family moves into the apartment below. Despite herself, Gretel forms a bond with the little boy, Henry, whose presence stirs memories she'd rather leave behind.

One night, Gretel witnesses a violent confrontation between Henry’s mother and his controlling father. This incident threatens to unravel her carefully maintained solitude and forces her to face her past.

Now, Gretel has the opportunity to confront her guilt, grief, and remorse by stepping in to protect a young boy-for the second time in her life. But doing so means revealing her true identity to the world. Will she choose differently this time, no matter the personal cost?

All The Broken Places is a heartbreaking and beautiful story about bravery, redemption, and the courage to face the darkest parts of one’s past.
