All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr

A blind French girl. An orphaned German boy. A relentless Nazi soldier searching for a rare gem... these are only three of the beautifully developed, yet imperfect characters in Anthony Doerr’s World War II historical fiction novel. All the Light We Cannot See has such an emotional depth that weaves simultaneous stories together into a true masterpiece. If you’re a fan, it’s a bit reminiscent of Sarah’s Key. One of the many things I loved about this book is that it’s not your typical World War II story. Doerr explores human nature and the inner horror of some difficult choices.
