All the Light We Cannot See

by Anthony Doerr

Anthony Doerr’s All the Light We Cannot See is an acclaimed historical novel set during the Second World War. Its interwoven story follows Marie-Laure, a blind French girl who escapes occupied Paris, and Werner, a German orphan whose talent with radios draws him into the Nazi war machine. Their paths gradually converge in the fortified coastal city of Saint-Malo as the conflict closes around them.

The novel won the 2015 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction and was a finalist for the 2014 National Book Award. Doerr combines wartime suspense with themes of technology, moral choice, survival, courage, and human connection.
