ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"All the Light We Cannot See" by Anthony Doerr weaves together the lives of Marie.Laure, a blind French girl, and Werner, a German soldier, during World War Two. Marie.Laure's journey showcases resilience as she navigates the world without sight, aided by her father's miniature models. Werner's story explores moral conflict, as his technical skills lead him to the military, but he questions his choices amidst war's atrocities. The siege of Saint.Malo becomes a crucible, forging connections and testing resolve. Their destinies intertwine amidst war, resistance, and survival, exploring themes of fate, morality, and human connection.
