YORK TIMES BESTSELLER WINNER OF THE CARNEGIE MEDAL FOR FICTION A
beautiful, stunningly ambitious novel 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. Marie-Laure has been blind
since the age of six. Her father builds a perfect miniature of
their Paris neighbourhood so she can memorize it by touch and
navigate her way home. But when the Nazis invade, father and
daughter flee with a dangerous secret. Werner is a German orphan,
destined to labour in the same mine that claimed his father’s
life, until he discovers a knack for engineering. His talent wins
him a place at a brutal military academy, but his way out of
obscurity is built on suffering. At the same time, far away in a
walled city by the sea, an old man discovers new worlds without
ever setting foot outside his home. But all around him, impending
danger closes in. Doerr’s combination of soaring imagination and
meticulous observation is electric. As Europe is engulfed by war
and lives collide unpredictably, All The Light We Cannot See is a
captivating and devastating elegy for innocence. ‘Sublime’ The
Times ‘Such a page-turner, entirely absorbing … Magnificent’
Guardian ‘A masterpiece’ Financial Times ‘Epic … A
bittersweet and moving novel that lingers in the mind’ Daily Mail
‘A vastly entertaining feat of storytelling’ New York Times
