About the original book:

Marie-Laure lives in Paris, close to her father's job at the Natural History Museum. The Nazis capture Paris when Marie-Laure is twelve, and her father and daughter flee to Saint-Malo, a fortified citadel where Marie-reclusive Laure's great uncle lives in a big home by the sea. They may be carrying the museum's most prized and hazardous diamond with them.

Werner Pfennig, an orphan, grows up with his younger sister in a German mining village, charmed by a rudimentary radio they discover that sends them news and stories from places they've never seen or imagined. Werner becomes a master at constructing and repairing these vital new gadgets, and he is tasked with tracking out the resistance. Doerr deftly interweaves the lives of Marie-Laure and Werner, illuminating the manner in which individuals try to be kind to one another despite all difficulties.

Doerr has a "stunning sense of physical detail and gorgeous metaphors" (San Francisco Chronicle). All the Light We Cannot See is a brilliant, deeply touching novel from a writer "whose sentences never fail to thrill," ten years in the making and a National Book Award nominee (Los Angeles Times).
