From the New York Times bestselling author John Boyne, a devastating, beautiful story about a woman who must confront the sins of her own terrible past, and a present in which it is never too late for bravery
Ninety-one-year-old Gretel Fernsby has lived in the same well-to-do mansion block in London for decades. She lives a quiet, comfortable life, despite her deeply disturbing, dark past. She doesn�t talk about her escape from Nazi Germany at age 12. She doesn�t talk about the grim post-war years in France with her mother. Most of all, she doesn�t talk about her father, who was the commandant of one of the Reich�s most notorious extermination camps. 
Then, a new 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 disturbing, violent argument between Henry�s beautiful mother and his arrogant father, one that threatens Gretel�s hard-won, self-contained existence.
All The Broken Places moves back and forth in time between Gretel�s girlhood in Germany to present-day London as a woman whose life has been haunted by the past.  Now, Gretel faces a similar crossroads to one she encountered long ago. Back then, she denied her own complicity, but now, faced with a chance to interrogate her guilt, grief and remorse, she can choose  to save a young boy. If she does, she will be forced to reveal the secrets she has spent a lifetime protecting. This time, she can make a different choice than before�whatever the cost to herself�.

An elderly London resident befriends the little boy who moves in downstairs, but his parents' fighting brings her back to her harrowing escape from Nazi Germany at age twelve and grim post-war years in France with her mother.

Después de impresionar a más de once millones de lectores con la estremecedora historia de El niño con el pijama de rayas, John Boyne regresa en Todas las piezas rotas al mundo de su novela más famosa para contar qué ocurrió con la familia del pequeño Bruno al final de la guerra. En esta ocasión, a través del viaje de Gretel, su hermana mayor, desde el París de 1946 hasta el Londres de hoy, en busca de un lugar en el que confiar el peso de su terrible pasado. A punto de cumplir noventa y dos años, Gretel Fernsby ha vivido durante décadas en un piso de Winterville Court, un lujoso bloque de apartamentos con vistas a Hyde Park, donde lleva una vida desahogada y tranquila pese a una historia oscura e inquietante que no deja de atormentarla  No habla con nadie de su huida de la Alemania nazi hace más de siete décadas en compañía de su madre, ni de la trágica desaparición de su hermano, ni mucho menos de su padre, comandante de uno de los campos de concentración más notorios del Reich. Cuando el productor de cine Alex Darcy-Witt, un hombre dominante y abusivo, y su esposa Madelyn se mudan al piso de abajo, Gretel acaba haciéndose amiga de Henry, el hijo de nueve años de la pareja, aunque su presencia le hace recordar antiguos sucesos que preferiría haber olvidado. «¿Hasta qué punto la culpa de un padre monstruoso alcanza a sus hijos?

En frittstående, etterlengtet oppfølger til verdenssuksessen "Gutten i den stripete pyjamasen". 91 år gamle Gretel Fernsby har bodd i den samme leiligheten i London i flere tiår. Hun lever et stille, tilbaketrukket og behagelig liv, til tross for hennes dystre bakgrunn. Flukten fra Nazi-Tyskland for over 70 år siden snakker hun aldri om. Hun snakket heller ikke om etterkrigsårene i Paris sammen med moren. Og minst av alt snakker hun om sin far, som var sjefen for en av de mest beryktede og fryktede konsentrasjonsleirene i Polen. En dag flytter det inn en ung familie i leiligheten under Gretel. Nærmest mot sin vilje blir Gretel kjent med den lille gutten, Henry, selv om synet av ham vekker minner hos Gretel som hun helst vil glemme. Da hun blir vitne til en voldsom krangel mellom Henrys foreldre, forstår Gretel at noe må gjøres. Men for å hjelpe gutten må hun fortelle verden hvem hun er. Boken inngår i BS Bestselger.
