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? La culpa y la complicidad tienen muchas caras. John Boyne es un maestro de la ficción histórica: es imposible estar preparado para la magnitud y el impacto emocional de esta novela. John Irving

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"You can't prepare yourself for the magnitude and emotional impact of this powerful novel." --John Irving, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The World According to Garp

"Exceptional, layered and compelling...This book moves like a freight train." --Amy Bloom, New York Times bestselling author of In Love

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 crossroad to the 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...."
