All The Light We Cannot See

Anthony Doerr's writing in All the Light We Cannot See is concise and crisp.  His words bring images to my mind more than most books I have read. Historical fiction about world war two is not happy reading but there are happy moments in the lives of Werner, a young German orphan boy and Marie-Laure, a young French girl who happens to be blind. With Werner and Marie-Laure and a cast of other fascinating characters, it is no surprise to me at all that this book won the Pulitzer Prize in 2015. Read it.  You won't be disappointed.
