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.

“Not for me”

Oh dear. I'm afraid I'm badly out of step with the rave reviews because I didn't like this novel. It's a decent idea and has its moments, but for me the story and characters were constantly swamped... More

“Magnificent. An all time great.”

This novel has received rave reviews and for once, the hype is justified. Words such as magnificent, wonderful, sublime, magical and compelling do this novel justice and still can't adequately sum up how great... More

“A lovely book”

I thoroughly enjoyed this book - didn't want it to end. I'm not sure what to read next as I know the next book won't compare to this. Thoroughly captivating and evocative.
