All the Light We Cannot See is a historical novel by Anthony Doerr, published in 2014. It became a bestseller and won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 2015. The novel is set during World War II and explores the intersecting lives of two main characters: a blind French girl and a German soldier, whose fates are intertwined against the backdrop of the war. As the war progresses, their stories eventually converge in the walled city of Saint-Malo during the final stages of the war, when Allied forces are bombing the city. Doerr's writing is lyrical and poetic, with vivid descriptions of both the natural world and the human experience. His style contrasts the grim realities of war with the beauty of the world, particularly through Marie-Laure's perspective as a blind girl, where her heightened senses of sound and touch bring the world alive in different ways. The novel poignantly highlights the resilience of the human spirit in the face of unimaginable hardships, making it a compelling and timeless reflection on the impact of war and the power of connection.
