5/30/2023 0 Comments All the light we cannot see authorDeftly interweaving the lives of Marie-Laure and Werner, Doerr illuminates the ways, against all odds, people try to be good to one another. Werner becomes an expert at building and fixing these crucial new instruments and is enlisted to use his talent to track down the resistance. In a mining town in Germany, Werner Pfennig, an orphan, grows up with his younger sister, enchanted by a crude radio they find that brings them news and stories from places they have never seen or imagined. With them they carry what might be the museum’s most valuable and dangerous jewel. When she is twelve, the Nazis occupy Paris and father and daughter flee to the walled citadel of Saint-Malo, where Marie-Laure’s reclusive great-uncle lives in a tall house by the sea. Marie-Laure lives in Paris near the Museum of Natural History, where her father works. Not only are the characters Doerr creates beautiful and wholesome, but the intricate plot-line, the well-developed metaphors, all create the enchanting World War II story that is “All the Light We Cannot See.” You might have already guessed that from the little sticker on the cover that says “Winner of the Pulitzer Prize,” but I can truly tell you that this is a book everyone should read. Anthony Doerr’s “All the Light We Cannot See” is amazing.
