The boy in the Striped Pyjamas- John Boyne

i read this book recently. it is a beautiful story, more so because a lot is left to the imagination. something which is barely out of reach haunts more than the most gruesome descriptions. is the book about World War II, about the Nazi army and concentration camps, about suffering and death? Or is it about the beauty of a friendship, the innocence of childhood, about the importance of things often unnoticed, about the differences and similarities on the two sides of the fence? it is about this and much more.. it is about the irony of life, the compassion of friendship, the fragility of rules, the futility of stringency and the ability of love...
