The events of the past are told by a dispassionate third-person narrator, but Bruno, the adolescent son of a Jewish family and its only survivor, narrates his own story from the perspective of many years later, as a middle-aged man living in Israel. Returning to Austria and the town of his birth, Bruno witnesses a very different world from the one he knew as a child.

"Another fortuitous discovery at Half Price Books...
I picked this up and flipped through it and could tell instantly that it was a beautifully written novel with a Holocaust theme. It starts with an idyllic country journey and a foreboding train trip home for a Jewish mother and son. I just started this.

I know this is an absurdly high rating for a book I just started, but I'll certainly adjust...."
