Boy in the Striped Pyjamas by John Boyne

It is really hard to talk a about this book without revealing the ending
The story is told by Bruno an 8 year old who has just moved to a new home. What is the fence with the “out with” sign hanging on it, what does his dad do there and who is the boy in the stripped pyjamas.
All is revealed by the end of this stunning and moving book.
5/5

This is a very weird book. Lucas finds violet ashes on a shelf in a taxi cab office. He take here to his Gran’s and decides to find out her life.
He finds out that she much more linked to his family than he thinks, she knew his farther who ran away years ago. A funny and interesting read.
5/5
