All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr

• Loveable characters? Yes

4.5

this is such a thorough look into a quite niche part of ww2 history that works wonderfully thematically, and i can’t help but love it. werner and marie-laure are both magnificent characters, they contrast each other very nicely. the way it’s set up narratively was a little confusing to me at times, but i think it ultimately succeeds really well in building anticipation for 1944 and their brief meeting in saint-malo. i wanna go there now and see the sea for myself.
