This is from the back of the powerful and unsettling as memorable as the introduction to the subject as diary of Anne Frank USA today. sure to take the readers breath away publishes weekly, you start to read this book you will go on a journey with a nine year old boy named Bruno though this isn't a book for 9-year-olds and sooner or later you will arrive at Bruno by the fence. fences like this exist all over the world we hope you never have to encounter one. it's from the reading group guide oh it says there's a reading group guide include included I don't see one there's an author's note we can. Author's note: in April of 2004 an image came to my mind of two boys sitting by on either side of a fence I knew they had been taken away from their homes and friends and brought separately to this terrible place. neither of them knew what they were doing there but I did and it was a story of these two boys who I named Bruno and Shamel that I wanted to tell. the issue of writing about a holocaust is of course contentious matter and any novelist who explores it had better be sure about his or her attentions before setting out. is presumptious to assume that from today's perspective one can truly understand the horror of the concentration camp although it's responsibility of the writer to uncover as much emotional truth within that desperate landscape as is possible. I am Jew. and when I picked up the book I knew it once what it was because I lost family and Dauchau. I'm the book seller Val Heike.
