is All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr. This award
winning novel is complex, but rewarding. It follows the story of two teenagers
on opposite sides of World War II from 1940 through the present day. Doerr does
a remarkable job creating sympathetic characters from the Axis and Allies. Marie-Laure
is a blind girl living in Paris and Werner is a German orphan living in
southern Germany. Their stories weave
together in a thrilling climax involving a vicious Nazi treasure hunter. The
harsh realities of war hit the two young people hard, but the journey through
one of the most notorious events in world history.
