The Bone Sparrow by Zana Fraillon

4.5

I very much enjoyed The Bone Sparrow. In many ways it reminded me of When Stars Are Scattered, but Fraillon’s main character is more hopeful, more full of imagination, and also more naïve. I also saw similarities with The Boy In The Striped Pajamas, though with less of an open ending and slightly more optimism for the future. The power of words was an integral part of the story, and also the complex nature of humans (particularly when the ‘good’ ones ignore horrible actions by others).
