A new novel from the author of "The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas." An ordinary boy named Pierrot lives in Paris. His mother is French, and his father is German. His father fought in World War I and was forever scarred. And although all is not well at home, Pierrot is happy. His parents adore him, and he has a best friend, Anschel, with whom he communicates using sign language. But this cozy world is about to disappear. It's the second half of the 1930s. And soon Pierrot will find himself in Austria, in a wonderful house on a mountaintop. Pierrot will now be called Peter, and he will have a new adult friend. This new friend has a brush mustache, a beautiful woman named Eva, and a very smart German Shepherd named Blondi. He is kind, intelligent, and very energetic. But for some reason, the servants are deathly afraid of him, and the guests who visit the house talk about Germany's greatness and how it's time for all of Europe to know about it.

A poignant, disturbing, and incredibly relevant novel, essentially a sequel to "The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas," although the characters are completely different.
