Synopsis

A person is defined by the secrets they keep. Adam Kulakov likes his life. He s on the right side of middle age; the toy company he owns brightens the lives of children around the world; and he has more money than he can ever spend, a wife and child he adores, and as many mistresses as he can reasonably hide from them. And he is not the only one with secrets. In 1944, Adam s grandfather, Arkady, was imprisoned in Auschwitz and given an impossible choice. Now, as he s coming to end of his life, he has to keep the truth from his family, and hold back the crushing memories of his time with one of history s greatest monsters. As a mistake threatens to bring Adam s world tumbling down around him, the past reaches for Arkady. Everything he s spent a lifetime building will be threatened, as will everything Adam and his family think they know of the world. Bold, dark and compelling, The Toymaker is a novel about privilege, fear and the great harm we can do when we are afraid of losing what we hold dear.
