Why didn’t I read this book sooner?! This might be one of my new favorites. Though the content is dark, Doerr shines a light through the crevices for the reader to glimpse the hope of the children so majorly impacted by WWII. Both children show the beauty still to be found even when the world and humanity are at its worst.
