All the Light We Cannot See

Book • 2014
The novel tells the story of Marie-Laure LeBlanc, a blind French girl, and Werner Pfennig, a German orphan, whose paths converge in occupied France during World War II. Marie-Laure lives in Paris with her father, a locksmith at the Museum of Natural History, and later flees to Saint-Malo with what might be the museum's most valuable and dangerous jewel.

Werner, fascinated by radios and science, is enlisted to track the Resistance.

The book explores themes of kindness, greed, love, and perseverance amidst the harsh circumstances of war.

Doerr's writing is praised for its vivid descriptions, moral complexity, and the way it illuminates the human spirit during times of great hardship.
