All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr

4.0

---

This book was beautifully sad. It tells the lives of two young people during WWII; One in France and one in Germany. Both thrust into situations they do not want to be in and both doing whatever is necessary to stay alive and safe. This story details the horrors and losses that went with WWII while also making it very much fiction with the story of a special gemstone.
