All the Light We Cannot See
A blind Parisian girl learns cities by touch; a German orphan learns the world through a repaired radio. As occupation closes over France and a coal-town childhood is traded for a Nazi school, Marie-Laure LeBlanc and Werner Pfennig move toward the same walled Breton port — and toward a diamond the size of a legend. Doerr's 2014 Pulitzer winner is built from short, sensory chapters: snails, static, miniature streets, and the question of how to stay curious, and decent, inside a machine designed to punish both.
“Open your eyes and see what you can with them before they close forever.”
