All The Light We Cannot See

I thoroughly enjoyed reading All The Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr which is set during WWII.  The two main characters are Marie-Laure a little Parisian girl who lives with her doting father until the Germans are set to invade and occupy their city.  They leave the city to move to a seaside town to live with an uncle.  Marie-Laure's father teaches her how to get around the town by building a miniature version and testing her as they walk outside.  The other main character is Werner, a German boy, who lives with his sister and others in an orphanage.  Werner becomes passionate about radios and teaches himself how to repair them.  Both these characters experience the horrors of war as they mature in to young adults.  The story goes back and forward in time, particularly during the war years.  This is a beautifully written exceptional book as the reader becomes immersed in the lives of these characters. 5/5
