All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr

In the swirl of war-torn France and beyond, two lives—separate yet intertwined—glow like beacons in the dark. Marie-Laure, a blind French girl fleeing Paris, carries her father’s model of their home and a precious gem; Werner, a German orphan turned radio engineer, is drawn into the machinery of conflict he never believed in. As bombs fall on the walled town of Saint-Malo, their paths converge in a moment of quiet courage and luminous hope. Anthony Doerr’s masterful novel blends shimmering language with deep, compassionate humanity. This is a story that reminds us how even the smallest lights—acts of kindness, the crackle on a radio wave, the steadying hand of friendship—can carry us through the darkest nights. A perfect heartfelt gift for readers who hold stillness and storm in the same breath, for book-club conversations, and for the shelf that honors the enduring power of story.
