'I can think of very few authors who can put together a sentence
with such ecstasy, whose words sing with music and such sheer
rapture at what they embody' The Times A stunning box set of three
beautiful books by Anthony Doerr. ALL THE LIGHT WE CANNOT SEE For
Marie-Laure, blind since the age of six, the world is full of
mazes. The miniature of a Paris neighbourhood, made by her father
to teach her the way home. The microscopic layers within the
invaluable diamond that her father guards in the Museum of Natural
History. The walled city by the sea, where father and daughter take
refuge when the Nazis invade Paris. And a future which draws her
ever closer to Werner, a German orphan, destined to labour in the
mines until a broken radio fills his life with possibility and
brings him to the notice of the Hitler Youth. In this magnificent,
deeply moving novel, the stories of Marie-Laure and Werner
illuminate the ways, against all odds, people try to be good to one
another. ABOUT GRACE David Winkler has lived on a remote Caribbean
island for more than two decades, after running away from his
former life, his wife Sandy and his daughter Grace. David fell in
love with Sandy at a supermarket in Alaska as he dreamt he would.
Moving from Alaska to Ohio to escape his fear of the future, they
have a child: Grace. But a shadow of fear hangs over David. And
when the floods come, he can't face up to the future he has seen
for his little girl and leaves both the people he loves.
Twenty-five years later, he finally finds the strength to discover
his daughter's fate THE SHELL COLLECTOR A blind man spends his days
roaming the beaches of Kenya collecting shells, classifying them by
feeling their whorls, spines and folds in his fingers. A young
woman discovers that she can explore the inner world of an animal's
mind by touching its freshly dead body. A refugee from Liberia, who
cannot escape the horrors that he has witnessed, finds salvation in
the clandesitne act of burying the hearts of beached whales. In The
Shell Collector Antony Doerr illuminates both the riotous dangers
of the natural world and the rocky terrain of the human heart.
