Nine-year-old Oskar Schell is an inventor, amateur entomologist, Francophile, letter writer, pacifist, natural historian, percussionist, romantic, Great Explorer, jeweller, detective, vegan, and collector of butterflies.


When his father is killed in the September 11th attacks on the World Trade Centre, Oskar sets out to solve the mystery of a key he disovers in his father's closet. It is a search which leads him into the lives of strangers, through the five boroughs of New York, into history, to the bombings of Dresden and Hiroshima, and on an inward journey which brings him ever closer to some kind of peace.©2005 Jonathan Safran Foer (P)2005 Recorded Books

“You cannot protect yourself from sadness without protecting yourself from happiness.”

A book about a grief originating from 9/11 attacks. It's about Oskar, a 9 yo boy who struggles to grow over the incident. His father passed away in the attack, but amazingly the story links all characters and plot arising from his life.

A good read and now while being made into a movie, eager to see how much justice does it do to the original book.

A book about 9/11 but not 9/11
