A small wonder of a book . . . A particular historical moment, one that cannot be told too often
Guardian
The Holocaust as a subject insists on respect, precludes criticism, prefers silence. One thing is clear: this book will not go gently into any good night
Observer
An extraordinary tale of friendship and the horrors of war . . . Raw literary talent at its best
Irish Independent
A book that lingers in the mind for quite some time . . . A subtle, calculatedly simple and ultimately moving story
The Irish Times
Simply written and highly memorable. There are no monstrosities on the page but the true horror is all the more potent for being implicit
Ireland on Sunday
Stays ahead of its readers before delivering its killer-punch final pages
Independent
Full of shocking juxtapositions and leads to a horrifying denouement . . . this is a deeply affecting novel
The Sunday Times
An extraordinary story of friendship
Daily Express
A very human and profoundly moving introduction to one of the darkest moments in history
The Good Book Guide
Thought-provoking and moving, Boyne's book is one that lingers in the mind long after its last page
Lincoln Target
An extraordinary story of friendship
Daily Express
I couldn't put it down. Through the eyes of a child it was innocent and oh, so chilling. I was hooked to the last page
Dalla Galton, Woman's Weekly
This novel is a fine addition to a once taboo area of history, at least where children's literature is concerned. It provides an account of a dreadful episode short on actual horror but packed with overtones that remain in the imagination
Nicholas Tucker, Independent
