All the Light We Cannot See: A Novel

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction and the #1 New York Times bestseller, All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr is a breathtakingly beautiful and profoundly moving novel set during World War II. Told through two unforgettable perspectives, it is a story about the power of human connection, the cost of war, and the light that persists even in the darkest of times.

The Story

In occupied France, Marie-Laure, a blind French girl, flees Paris with her father, carrying a mysterious and priceless diamond. In Germany, Werner, an orphan boy with a gift for radio technology, is swept into the Nazi war machine.
