The first book I've read based on a recommendation from StoryGraph and its title.
The book tells the stories of a German boy and a French girl living in Europe during WWII. It's about the very diverse ways we connect with one another. By birth, by camaraderie, through coincidences or even by hearing voices on the radio.
But it's a book about a great human catastrophe, too. The war tears on these connection and is a traumatic experience not only for Marie-Laure and Werner, but for everyone involved.
And it's a book about St. Malo, a city and a fortress on the western rim of Europe. Built like a star on the brink of the ocean.
