En 'Quan el món es va trencar', John Boyne nos presenta a Gretel Fernsby, una mujer de 91 años que vive en Londres y que guarda un pasado oscuro relacionado con su huida de la Alemania nazi y su padre, comandante de un campo de exterminio. Su vida da un giro cuando entabla amistad con Henry, el hijo de nueve años de una pareja vecina, lo que le trae recuerdos de su hermano Bruno. Un día, presencia un acto de violencia entre los padres de Henry, lo que la obliga a elegir entre su seguridad y la del niño, enfrentándose a dilemas similares a los de su pasado. Esta decisión la lleva a confrontar la culpa y la vergüenza de su complicidad pasada, al tiempo que se arriesga a revelar los secretos que ha guardado durante toda su vida.
