All the Broken Places by John Boyne

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


John Boyne is an excellent stylist and in All The Broken Places, he perfectly juxtaposes 91-year-old Gretel's narrative with alternating chapters unveiling the conflicted story of her life. She has a horrific past, one she has a guilty conscience about, yet there is no easy resolution in the kind of redemption she achieves at the end.
