One night, she witnesses a violent argument between his parents, which threatens to disturb her hard-won peace.For the second time in her life, Gretel is given the chance to save a young boy.

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 * Details ISBN1529176131 Author John Boyne Language English Year 2023 ISBN-10 1529176131 ISBN-13 9781529176131 Format Paperback Publication Date 2023-07-20 UK Release Date 2023-07-20 Publisher Transworld Publishers Ltd Pages 384 Imprint Penguin Subtitle The Sequel to The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas Country of Publication United Kingdom AU Release Date 2023-07-20 NZ Release Date 2023-07-20 DEWEY 823.92 Audience General Alternative 9781473599840 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
