An account of a dreadful episode, short on actual horror but packed
with overtones that remain in the imagination. Plainly and
sometimes archly written, it stays just ahead of its readers before
delivering its killer punch in the final pages
*Independent*
A small wonder of a book. Bruno's education is conducted slowly,
through a series of fleeting social encounters rather than by
plunging him into a nightmare landscape
*Guardian*
An extraordinary tale of friendship and the horrors of war seen
through the eyes of two young boys, it's stirring stuff. Raw
literary talent at its best. More please!
*Irish Independent*
Quite impossible to put down, this is the rare kind of book that
doesn't leave your head for days. Word of mouth should be strong
and this has the potential to cross over to an adult audience. A
unique and captivating novel, which I believe deserves huge
success
*The Bookseller*
Overwhelmingly powerful . . . This is a story so exceptional and
vivid that it cannot be erased from the mind
*Carousel*
Set to become a publishing phenomenon
*Irish Examiner*
A powerful and emotionally-charged piece of literature
*Yorkshire Evening Post*
It's that very rare thing - a book so simple, so seemingly
effortless, that it's almost perfect
*Irish Independent*
