All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr
5.0
Beautiful
Bravo to Mr Doerr for so beautifully giving me the opportunity to maybe understand blindness. I don't just mean the physical blindness of Marie-Laure either. The descriptions were vivid and involved all the senses. He even made the descriptions of radio transmissions interesting. I had a hard time putting this one down and was sad when I reached the end. I enjoyed the switching from specific dates in 1944 to 1940. This generated tension as small bits would be revealed and then I wanted to find out how that particular piece of information had been discovered. Well done.
