Description
This moving novel from Mitch Albom, the author of Tuesdays with Morrie and The Five People You Meet in Heaven, follows the consequences of a child’s lie during the Second World War. When the Nazis invade Salonika, Greece, eleven-year-old Nico Crispi is offered a chance to save his family. He is told to persuade fellow Jewish residents to board trains heading east, where they are promised work and safety. Every day, he goes to the station platform and reassures the passengers that the journey is safe. Only when it is too late does Nico discover that the people he loved will never return. His story is interwoven with those of his brother Sebastian, their schoolmate Fanni and the Nazi officer who radically changed their lives. As the decades pass, the consequences of what they endured emerge. Exploring honesty, survival, revenge and devotion, this story examines the harm caused by deceit and the power of love to redeem us.
