All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr
4.0
After years of longing to peruse this tome, I grant due praise to its Netflix adaptation, which has given me the long-awaited opportunity to imbibe one of the most magnificent literary works ever penned. The book commenced with a languid pace, yet every phrase, each opulent description, has transported me to that pivotal juncture in history, the very crucible that has sculpted our world today.
Amidst its haunting tapestry of vivid imagery and allegorical prose, I find myself trapped by lingering, unanswered questions. My yearning for Marie Laure to delve deeper into Werner's enigma and for his role in the narrative to find a greater culmination remains unfulfilled. The plot descends into a realm of stark reality and mundane existence, dashing my hopes for a more felicitous denouement. While I concede that the book's conclusion is meticulously executed, I, a seeker of fictional reverie, yearn for a more indulgent departure from reality. But perhaps, it's a yearning unique to my own heart.
