Description
A blind French girl and a German boy whose paths collide in occupied France during World War II. Marie-Laure lives with her father in Paris, where he works at the Museum of Natural History. When she is six, she goes blind, and her father builds a miniature of their neighborhood to help her navigate. As the Nazis occupy Paris, they flee to the walled citadel of Saint-Malo, carrying a valuable and dangerous jewel. In Germany, Werner grows up in a mining town, enchanted by a crude radio, and becomes an expert at building and fixing instruments, which leads him to track the Resistance. Deftly interweaving the lives of Marie-Laure and Werner, Anthony Doerr illuminates the ways people try to be good to one another, despite the devastation of war.
