Doerr, Anthony, 1973-
All the light we cannot see Anthony Doerr. - First Scribner hardcover edition. - New York : Scribner, 2014. - 531 pages ; 24 cm.
Marie-Laure lives with her father in Paris within walking distance of the Museum of Natural History. 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. 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.
