The book ends here but always a mystery and also with the phrase “Of course, all of this happened a long time ago and nothing like that could ever happen again. Not in this day and age.”
The story is a mystery which is never be solve and that’s make me indulge in it more and more. No one knows what will happen next but the unspoken words always makes us wonder what happens to Bruno and Shmuel. I highly recommend this book for mystery and historical lovers.
My ratings for this book is 5/5.
