AboutThe House Of Special Purpose is a book written by John Boyne (Known from The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas) about a Russian man named Georgy (Gregory).
In the book you will learn a lot about Georgy and his emotional and exciting past and present.
Summary
Eighty year old Georgy Jachmenev is haunted by his past – a past of death, suffering and scandal that will stay with him until the end of his days. Living in England with his beloved wife Zoya, Georgy prepares to make one final journey back to the Russia he once knew and loved, the Russia that both destroyed and defined him.
As Georgy remembers days gone by, we are transported to St
Petersburg in the early 20th century, to the Winter Palace of the Tsar. A time
of change, threat and bloody revolution.
And as Georgy overturns the most painful stone of all, we
uncover the story of the house of special purpose.
