Until your adult self steps in and realises what is happening. And it's then that the heart will break. The story is simple: Bruno is a nine years old boy, who's moved from his the place to find a fresh house. It's small, cold, unfamiliar as well as on the outskirts of the Nazi concentration camp. The people in the fence wear striped pyjamas and try to look sad. There's numerous kids, but no person to experience with. Bruno is lonely, bored and curious. His house is filled up with soldiers who wear impressive uniforms, click their heels together and raise their right arms in salute. One day whilst exploring, Bruno encounters another nine years old boy, who wears strange, striped pyjamas. It's a friendship born from loneliness, a want to break from tedium and simply a desire for a buddy. The characters each play their part with purpose. over at this website may know in which the next turn leads, your heart begs it to not be true. Galloping from the narrative, you're swept from your childlike innocence for the climaxing, heartbreaking final scene. The novel is just 200 pages long, simple to read in a day but will stick with you for many more. Bruno doesn't meet Shmuel until halfway with the novel, enough time to let you reside in his world, experience his boredom and loneliness, living each day without direction. My expertise in the Holocaust is reasonably limited, but research tells me conditions could have some truth. My child self revelled inside the wonder, the curiosity, the essence of innocence. Yet, my adult self quickly realised the thing that was happening and was sickened. Still, I couldn't turn away. Best novel I've read in a very while.Like it? Share it! More by this author |
