And other things are probably better off left alone'Nine-year-old Bruno has a lot of things on his mind. Who is the 'Fury'? Why did he make them leave their nice home in Berlin to go to 'Out-With' ? And who are all the sad people in striped pyjamas on the other side of the fence?The grown-ups won't explain, so Bruno decides there is only one thing for it - he will have to explore this place alone. What he discovers is a new friend. A boy with the very same birthday. A boy in striped pyjamas.But why can't they ever play together?‘A small wonder of a book’ - Guardian

Recensioner i media

"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

  1. 5/5 Karin

    Eftersom jag inte vill avslöja handlingen säger jag bara: Läs den och tänk på det som sker. Hjärtat gråter, långt efteråt!

  2. 4/5 Anette

    Fin beskrivning av två pojkars vänskap med helt olika förutsättningar. Gav viktiga perspektiv! En bok som stannar kvar! Bra uppläsare med inlevelse.

  3. 5/5 Jennifer

    Älskar den här boken!
    Att få vara med i andra världskriget genom en ung kille som inte riktigt förstår allt gör saken väldigt spännande.

  4. 4/5 Camilla

    Denna bok, eller kanske snarare novell, läste vi som en del av min engelskakurs. En berättelse som var lättläst, spännande och lämnade gott om utrymme för egna tankar och frågor kring innehållet. En läsvärd historia jag själv skulle kunnat välja även om den inte varit en del av min språkkurs!
