This is a tale of friendship and innocence. It is the story of a 9 year old boy named Bruno, whose father is a Commandent for "The Fury". Bruno's life is transformed when his father is transferred to work in "Out-with", and his family must move in with him. Life is pretty boring for Bruno, until he discovers a new friend named Shmuel, who lives on the other side of the fence with all the other boys and men wearing striped pyjamas.
Bruno and Shmuel are both oblivious of the harsh reality of their circumstances, and their innocence becomes shattered when they finally realize what really happens at "Out-with".
Very moving and beautifully written, this has become another one of my personal favourites.
