This novel was wonderful. Anthony Doerr told a multifaceted story of family, friendships, war, and imagination.
This story sheds a different light through multiple characters of WWII. Not just the harsh and brutal realities of war, but those moments away from it. How even in war people lived their lives on both sides. How hope and love in its various forms are sometimes the very thing that drives survival and healing.
I loved the parallels between Werner’s story and Marie-Laure’s. How their paths converged and tapered away.
An absolute must read for historical fans!
