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.
