Preview of this Instaread:

The lives of two teens, a French girl and a German boy, improbably intersect at the end of World War II in All The Light We Cannot See.

Before the war, Marie-Laure LeBlanc, who has been blind since childhood, lives comfortably in Paris with her father, Daniel, who is the key master for the natural history museum. She loves to visit the museum and learn, especially about molluscs, or snails. Her father makes her a detailed wooden replica of their neighborhood so she can learn to navigate it. He also makes complicated wooden puzzle boxes that delight her. He gives her a Braille copy of Jules Verne’s Around the World in Eighty Days and then, after she devours it, the first volume of Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea.

Quotes

  • Anna Osipovahas quoted3 years ago
    The teachers at Schulpforta thought they were improving the evolution of humanity, but it is really girls like Jutta and Marie-Laure who do so, taking comfort in starting over with the next generation. That they make so much of their lives, after what they suffered, above all brings home the theme that life does go on .
  • Anna Osipovahas quoted3 years ago
    The human brain, as Etienne muses, remains the greatest puzzle, creating mazes of good and evil, light and dark.
  • Anna Osipovahas quoted3 years ago
    Puzzles are, in fact, one of the most prevalent images in All the Light We Cannot See,from the wooden puzzle boxes that Daniel makes for his daughter to solve to the very existence of wars and inhumanity.Some of these puzzles have answers, some do not. They may be beyond human understanding, but life goes on. It takes bravery to live life fully
