All the Light We Cannot See
Anthony Doerr
This novel is set during World War II, tracking the lives of a French girl and a German boy.

Anthony Doerr creates a beautiful collision of two worlds in the most detailed and unexpected of ways, providing readers with a story of light set amidst a time period riddled with darkness.
