All The Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr

This was my book club’s pick for February. And I just finished it last weekend. What can I say? I am a mediocre member. 

This WW2 historical fiction has been on my bookshelf forever; and I know I don’t really need to rave about it. Afterall, it won the Pulitzer Prize in 2015. 

But here are my two sentences. It is hauntingly beautiful. It didn’t hit me right away, but once I became acquainted with all the characters/perspectives I was hooked in and hopeful for Marie-Laure Leblanc. 

For a character that is so vulnerable to challenges, she is one of the bravest and smartest characters I have read in a book.

I highly recommend this book to those who enjoy historical fiction.
