All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr is a Pulitzer Prize-winning masterpiece set during World War II, weaving together the lives of a blind French girl and a German boy whose paths collide in occupied France.
Marie-Laure lives in Paris with her father, a locksmith at the Museum of Natural History. When the Nazis occupy the city, they flee to the walled coastal town of Saint-Malo, where Marie-Laure's reclusive great-uncle lives. Meanwhile, Werner, a German orphan with a gift for building and fixing radios, is recruited into the Hitler Youth and then the Wehrmacht.
As the war intensifies, their lives intersect in ways neither could have imagined. Doerr's luminous prose illuminates the resilience of the human spirit and the extraordinary ways people find light in the darkest times.
A stunning work of historical fiction that explores courage, survival, and the invisible connections that bind us all.
