All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award Finalist
From the highly acclaimed, multiple award-winning Anthony Doerr, the beautiful, stunningly ambitious, instant New York Times bestseller about a blind French girl, and a German boy, whose paths collide in occupied France as both try to survive the devastation of World War II.
Doerr’s “stunning sense of physical detail and gorgeous metaphors” (San Francisco Chronicle) are dazzling. Deftly interweaving the lives of Marie-Laure and Werner, he illuminates the ways, against all odds, people try to be good to one another. Ten years in the writing… All the Light We Cannot See is a magnificent, deeply moving novel from a writer “whose sentences never fail to thrill” (Los Angeles Times)--Amazon.
