Just finished “All The Light We Cannot See” by Anthony Doerr
I don’t normally right write about books I’ve read but I couldn’t help myself. This book is one of the most beautifully written books I’ve ever read, it is about a young French blind girl and a young German boy during World War Two, and how it affected their lives.
Films and documentaries don’t give the horrors of the wars justice, and it is something this book cleverly does, yet not in the ways one might initially think about the horrors of wars. You see a gradual development of life getting harder and worse, and it takes an interesting perspective on how their lives have both been affected by the war.
I could not recommend a book more, it really is so beautifully written.
EDIT: Thank you kind stranger for the reward, it is my first!!
EDIT 2: I really didn’t expect so many to see this, but thank you so so much for all of your opinions and recommendations! I’m really enjoying seeing what everyone else has to say. Also thank you so much for the rewards!!
