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 crossroads to 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..."-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 $a Older women England London $x Fiction. 600 $a Children of Nazis $x Fiction. 650 $a Germany History 1933-1945 $x Fiction. 941 $a 12 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409043522.0 952 $l LYPB815 $d 20231221090804.0 952 $l WAPD715 $d 20231130010225.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010031653.0 952 $l KWPE446 $d 20230503010518.0 952 $l CQPE926 $d 20230418010501.0 952 $l YTPG232 $d 20230302011820.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20230302010759.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20230203020348.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20230111010147.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20230104013904.0 952 $l ZXPC675 $d 20221217010756.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2DA6B2F67DD911EDB2605C6329ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
