All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr
4.0
"Don't you want to be alive before you die?"
The storyline went back and forth between the lives' of Marie-Laure Le Blanc and Werner Pfenning across Germany and France -- and few more countries. It started with their lives before the war, during the war, and after the war -- only that this smart and wise Werner didn't make it to the end.
The story potrayed a strong relationship between family and friends. How the lives were during the war, what it took from the living and what's left after.
And though the timeline ocurred during war, I am a bit glad that the war itself wasn't written so much more descriptively -- looking how good Doerr is on that aspect -- because even the death of Werner has left me with a hollow inside my heart. I started reading through the book along with Werner, and it's tough to end it without him.
Perhaps there was definitely light that I didn't quite see.
