All The Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr
531 Pages
Set in France during World War II this story follows two main characters; Marie-Laure and Werner. Marie-Laure is a blind french girl who relocates to Saint Malo from Paris with her father when the Germans invade Paris. Werner is a German orphan with a gift for electronics who is caught up in the war. The book charts their tales from the early 30's to the war's end and beyond and how they converge.
Well written and moving this book should be popular with patrons that enjoy historical fiction.
