Book Review

'The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas' is a brilliant little book. Although it was originally written for children it is thought provoking for all ages. The theme is relevant for us as we prepare to return to Is, but I also found that it raised questions about how we perceive others in light of our own circumstances. I was also struck about the barrier/fence that separates the two innocent boys, and the similarities to the situation in the Holy Land at the moment. I usually like to read the book before seeing the film, which has just been released in the UK. If you want to read it before you see it then there is still time because it is a very, very short read. P
