This was a wonderful reading experience; Doerr&#8217;s writing is so expressive and beautiful.  The book is the story of two parallel lives just before and during WWII.  One is the story of a German boy, Werner,  &#8220;recruited&#8221; into Hitler&#8217;s Nazi Youth.  An orphan,  he is accepted into an elite school because of his genius with radios.  It is there he is trained as a soldier (he is 14 when he starts ) and hones his electronics skills.  <\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the other parallel story is about a blind French girl, Marie-Laure, and her life with her father and uncle during the same period.  WWII starts, and thus the lives of both Werner and Marie-Laure intersect and change drastically.  Such wonderful, evocative prose; I could not put this book down.  Highly recommended.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just finished reading Anthony Doerr&#8217;s historical novel, All The Light We Cannot See.
