About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

From internationally bestselling author John Boyne, a contemplative story about one man trying to move forward from the trauma of his youth to become a better father to his son.

Being in limbo, 30,000 feet in the air, offers time to reflect and take stock. For Aaron Umber, it’s an opportunity to connect with his 14-year-old son as they travel halfway across the world to meet a woman who isn’t expecting them.

Unsettled by his past, and anxious for his future, Aaron is at a crossroads in life. The damage inflicted upon him during his youth has made him the man he is, but now threatens to widen the growing fissures between him and his only child. This trip could bind them closer together, or tear them further apart.

In this penetrating examination of action and consequence, fault and attribution, acceptance and resolution, John Boyne gives us a redemptive story of a father and a son on a moving journey to mend their troubled lives.

This final piece of the puzzle continues the story of how generational trauma and loss affect our lives and how we live and love each other. I have enjoyed each of these beautiful stories as audio books and the subtle ways in which John Boyle connects each character and story. All of the characters across these novels feel so incredibly alive and relatable, despite the often terrible events that define their lives, Boyle opens the door and is not afraid to walk through it to explore the human condition with all the cruelties that come with life. The narrator struggles a little to deliver an Australian accent but it doesn’t detract from a powerful delivery of a very satisfying conclusion to the series.

A wonderful collision of all the elements in this fourth and final novel of the series.
