Al leer la sinopsis, se podría pensar: “Otra historia más basada en la Segunda Guerra Mundial”, y sí, así es, pero es una única. El autor se destacó por escribir capítulos cortos e irnos contando la vida de Werner y Marie-Laure por separado a través de los años desde su niñez hasta el presente.
Su manera de narrar tan detalladamente cada acción y lo que ocurre alrededor de manera precisa fue mi área favorita para continuar leyendo. Sin dejar atrás la curiosidad hacia dónde iba con la historia por la movida de ir y venir entre pasado y presente.
Podría decir que una historia bonita, pero no lo es, es una historia cruda, honesta y vulnerable con muchos elementos psicológicos que aportan a ver la realidad de aquel momento desde otras perspectivas con personajes que solo quieren vivir y expresarse.

When reading the synopsis, you might think: “Yet another story based on World War II”, and yes, that's right, but it's a unique one. The author stood out for writing short chapters and telling us the lives of Werner and Marie-Laure separately through the years from their childhood to the present.
His way of narrating each action in such detail and what is happening around them precisely was my favorite area to continue reading. Without leaving behind the curiosity of where the story was going due to the movement of going back and forth between past and present.
I could say that it is a beautiful story, but it is not, it is a raw, honest and vulnerable story with many psychological elements that contribute to seeing the reality of that moment from other perspectives with characters who only want to live and express themselves.
