A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

"It’s impossible to put down: devastating and devastatingly good, one of my top three children’s novels of the year so far . . . A difficult story to pull off, but with his perfect pacing, lack of sentimentality and refusal to submit to a neat end, Boyne has won me over – all over again" (The Times)

"A remarkable feat . . . Compelling" (Guardian)

"Disturbingly vivid, utterly readable and appealing to audiences of all ages" (The Bookbag)

"There is a sureness and a simplicity to the writing that is very impressive . . . In The Boy at the Top of the Mountain, Boyne has delivered a powerful account of how one boy was seduced by Hitler and Nazism and paid the price. The final pages, in which he meets the Jewish friend of his boyhood and seeks redemption, are very moving. Younger readers will lament the corruption of Pierrot; older ones will perceive what Boyne is trying to tell us: if this could happen to Pierrot, it could happen to us" (Irish Independent)

"An affecting morality tale . . . It is the chilling portrayal of adolescent corruption and atonement that lingers" (Daily Mail)

Quatrième de couverture :

THE UNFORGETTABLE NEW WORLD WAR TWO NOVEL FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE BOY IN THE STRIPED PYJAMAS

Pierrot knows nothing about the Nazis when he is sent to live with his aunt in a mysterious house at the top of a mountain.

But this is no ordinary house, and this is no ordinary time. It is 1935, and this is the Berghof.

Taken under Hitler's wing, Pierrot is swept up into a dangerous new world of power, secrets, betrayal and lies.
