Beautifully written and juxtaposed between two characters: the oppressed and the oppressor, neither of them aware of their own roles. The character development and plot go hand in hand, making the reader feel empathy for several in the story, regardless of their position in the world.

well, 2/2 anthony doerr books have made me cry now. i'm not usually one for realistic fiction in historical settings (particularly times of war) but this book was amazing. i love how doerr writes, and i loved how the marie-laure and werner's stories intertwined. the cast of characters was wonderful, and the ending had me perpetially crying/tearing up. frederick's story broke my heart as much as i immediately loved his character, and werner's story did the same, and theme of long-distance communication throughout was so well-done. i also loveddddd how descriptive the book was during the scenes where marie-laure is learning to navigate paris with the help of her father's models of the city, and honestly every scene from marie-laure's perspective was so beautiful, maybe even because of the limitation of her blindness.
all that to say, leave it to doerr to write an entire, emotionally-compromising novel after seeing someone fail to appreciate the wonder of modern long-distance communication (according to wikipedia, anyway)!
