This story begins with a family. A father, a mother and two sons, one has the father's cruelty and belligerence in his blood, the other the mother's artistry and gentleness. One son will leave. The other stays. Gradually, these four will be joined by more and more characters, whose actions will guide and determine the fates of the two brothers. But this is only the beginning... The stories of the two brothers and all those connected to them will stretch across two thousand years. In Palestine, in the year of Christmas, a grand journey begins - across eras, countries, cultures and even the stars. The world changes, landscapes change, clothes change, manner of speaking changes, only people do not change, they are still as driven by passions, lose their heads in love, obsessed with revenge, they are weak, strong, foolish, noble, cruel, compassionate ... "The world that surrounds us may change, but our feelings remain unchanged," - will say the hero Boyne, trying to find a way to the gate, behind which shines inaccessible to people wisdom.
John Boyne's new novel is an epic parable that tells the story of humanity and the story of each of us. An original, unlike anything else, dramatic, ironic book about human nature.
