All the Light We Cannot See

Set during the devastation of the Second World War, All the Light We Cannot See follows the lives of two young people trying to survive on opposite sides of the conflict. In Paris, Marie-Laure loses her sight as a young girl, learning to navigate the city through a detailed wooden model built by her father, a locksmith at the Museum of Natural History. When German forces occupy the capital, the pair escape to the coastal walled town of Saint-Malo to stay with her reclusive great-uncle.

Meanwhile, in a German mining town, an orphan named Werner discovers a remarkable aptitude for repairing radios. His technical skill earns him entry to a brutal military school and ultimately sends him across Europe tracking illegal radio broadcasts for the military. His journey eventually leads him to Saint-Malo, where his path intersects with Marie-Laure's. This beautifully crafted story explores how individuals strive to find goodness and human connection amidst the darkness and violence of war.
