Though it is a bit a sad story, ı enjoyed very much reading it. Detailed, lively descriptions, you feel like you walk next to Marie-Lou in the streets of Sain Malo.
WINNER OF THE 2015 PULITZER PRIZE FOR FICTION NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FINALIST NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER WINNER OF THE CARNEGIE MEDAL FOR FICTION A beautiful, stunningly ambitious novel about a blind French girl and a German boy whose paths collide in occupied France as both try to survive the devastation of World War II
Marie Laure lives with her father in Paris within walking distance of the Museum of Natural History where he works as the master of the locks (there are thousands of locks in the museum). When she is six, she goes blind, and her father builds her a model of their neighborhood, every house, every manhole, so she can memorize it with her fingers and navigate the real streets with her feet and cane. When the Germans occupy Paris, father and daughter flee to Saint-Malo on the Brittany coast, where Marie-Laure’s agoraphobic great uncle lives in a tall, narrow house by the sea wall.
In another world in Germany, an orphan boy, Werner, grows up with his younger sister, Jutta, both enchanted by a crude radio Werner finds. He becomes a master at building and fixing radios, a talent that wins him a place at an elite and brutal military academy and, ultimately, makes him a highly specialized tracker of the Resistance. Werner travels through the heart of Hitler Youth to the far-flung outskirts of Russia, and finally into Saint-Malo, where his path converges with Marie-Laure.
Doerr’s gorgeous combination of soaring imagination with observation is electric. Deftly interweaving the lives of Marie-Laure and Werner, Doerr illuminates the ways, against all odds, people try to be good to one another. Ten years in the writing, All the Light We Cannot See is his most ambitious and dazzling work.

Når man først har kommet i gang, må man høre seg til slutten og få vite hvordan det går med bokens hovedpersoner. Men hendelsesforløpet er pakket inn i veeldig mange allegoriske utsagn (as if.., as if.. etc. etc.) og det blir i meste laget, om enn de kan være både vakre og utvider teksten. Primært pga. denne overlessingen får boken bare 3 stjerner av meg. But still makes a good listen!:-)

Som alle bøger i den genre, ville jeg have ønsket en anden slutning. Også selvom at den er præcis som den skal være.

Hsr startet denne boken to ganger, og klarte å komme meg gjennom andre gang, heldigvis! Var noen trege partier i boken, og handlingen er forutsigbar til tider, men historien er full av gullkorn som virkelig får deg til å ville lese videre. Handlingen er lineær men delt inn i to seperate fortellere, den ene noe mer interessant enn den andre🥸Har noen virkelig store høydepunkt hvor man virkelig ikke kan legge fra seg boken, og noen veldig spennende karakterer som går igjen i boken. Var ikke helt fornøyd med avslutningen, følte den kunne blitt knyttet opp litt ryddigere men alt i alt, glad jeg prøvde igjen, etter at jeg la den fra meg første gangen☺️

A WWII story from a different perspective: the victims who were recipients of the war, and the germans, who also have a story to tell.
