Description
All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr is a powerful and moving novel about two young people whose lives intersect in occupied France during World War II. Against the backdrop of devastation and destruction, Marie-Laure and Werner navigate their own struggles to survive. Marie-Laure's world is one of precision and memory, built around her father's model of their Parisian neighborhood. As she grows up blind, she learns to navigate the streets with her cane and fingers, while Werner finds solace in building and fixing radios. Their paths converge in Saint-Malo, where they both find themselves caught up in the brutal realities of war. Doerr masterfully weaves together the stories of these two young people, illuminating the ways in which people try to be good to one another in the face of overwhelming adversity.
