* COMING IN NOVEMBER AS A NETFLIX LIMITED SERIES--from producer and
director Shawn Levy (Stranger Things) starring Mark Ruffalo, Hugh
Laurie, and newcomer Aria Mia Loberti * Winner of the Pulitzer
Prize and National Book Award finalist, the beloved instant New
York Times bestseller and New York Times Book Review Top 10 Book
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 lives with her father in Paris near the Museum of
Natural History where he works as the master of its thousands of
locks. When she is six, Marie-Laure goes blind and her father
builds a perfect miniature of their neighborhood so she can
memorize it by touch and navigate her way home. 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. With them they carry what might
be the museum's most valuable and dangerous jewel. In a mining town
in Germany, the orphan Werner grows up with his younger sister,
enchanted by a crude radio they find. Werner becomes an expert at
building and fixing these crucial new instruments, a talent that
wins him a place at a brutal academy for Hitler Youth, then a
special assignment to track the Resistance. More and more aware of
the human cost of his intelligence, Werner travels through the
heart of the war and, finally, into Saint-Malo, where his story and
Marie-Laure's converge. 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).
