Review

(by- Andrea )

Historical Fiction lovers will enjoy this sequel to "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas." It's an emotional and powerful read from the perspective of Gretel, Brono's sister, who is now in her nineties.

It explores the trauma of WWll as we hear Gretel's story, who is the daughter of a Nazi commandant. She is now living in London and recounts her life after the war. The question presented in the story is how or if she is responsible for her father's war crimes?

She is a fascinating, complex character, facing moral dilemmas such as personal responsibility, inherited guilt, and what it takes to survive. This haunting book will be provided to your Book Club, and there will be much to discuss at your next meeting.
