A story of innocence existing within the most dreadful evil, this is the fictional tale of two young boys caught up in terrible historical events. With consummate skill and no little courage John Boyne takes on the daunting challenge of the Holocaust novel, producing in the process, an exemplar of the genre like none that has gone before. Subtle,controlled, and laden with dramatic irony this is a novel which, like The Diary of Anne Frank,is destined to endure.
