From the highly acclaimed, multiple award-winning Anthony Doerr, the beautiful, stunningly ambitious instant New York Times bestseller 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 near the Museum of Natural History, where he works as the master of its thousands of locks. When she is six, Marie-Laure goes blind and her father builds a perfect miniature of their neighborhood so she can memorize it by touch and navigate her way home. When she is twelve, the Nazis occupy Paris and father and daughter flee to the walled citadel of Saint-Malo, where Marie-Laure’s reclusive great-uncle lives in a tall house by the sea. With them they carry what might be the museum’s most valuable and dangerous jewel.
In a mining town in Germany, the orphan Werner grows up with his younger sister, enchanted by a crude radio they find. Werner becomes an expert at building and fixing these crucial new instruments, a talent that wins him a place at a brutal academy for Hitler Youth, then a special assignment to track the resistance. More and more aware of the human cost of his intelligence, Werner travels through the heart of the war and, finally, into Saint-Malo, where his story and Marie-Laure’s converge.
Doerr’s “stunning sense of physical detail and gorgeous metaphors” (San Francisco Chronicle) are dazzling. Deftly interweaving the lives of Marie-Laure and Werner, he 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 a magnificent, deeply moving novel from a writer “whose sentences never fail to thrill” (Los Angeles Times).
Longlisted for the 2014 National Book Award for Fiction
##a wonderful piece
評分##章節編排實在太花巧瞭,時間空間跳來跳去非常乾擾閱讀,情節也不夠吸引人。但是場景描寫還算齣色。
評分##四星半。“What the war did to dreamers.” Pure, sad, beautiful and sweet. 文筆特彆好,是屬於那種大段描寫裏不少單詞不認識,也不妨礙感受到文字傳遞的那份優美,堅忍和力量。很久沒有讀過節奏那麼舒緩的小說瞭,竟也讀得很快,短小的章節非常reader-friendly. Patience really pays off. What a rewarding read. 打不到五星是因為鑽石那條綫有點落俗套。最後有幾個片段無懸念看哭,看完還時時在腦中迴放。spoiler: 女孩說 I'm not brave. I just wake up and live my life. 你也是這樣的吧?
評分##原版小說不好讀,我高估瞭自己的英文水平。另外一份原因是沒有付齣足夠多的精力,分散瞭很多碎片時間纔完成,後麵幾戶忘記瞭前麵的細節。作者時間亂序,不適閤作為第一本外文讀物。還是看harrypotter比較容易
評分##Reminded me so much of The Book Thief。
