Text: All the Light We Cannot See

Posted on by

Your summer read for 2020 is All the Light We Cannot See, by Anthony Doerr. The novel is set in WWII France and follows two protagonists. It’s compelling and gripping reading, and I hope that you will find it truly enjoyable.

There are two protagonists that the novel rotates between. One is a young blind French girl whose father takes her away from Paris to Saint-Malo.

The other protagonist is a young German boy who has an interest in radios and the science behind them. He is orphaned, and becomes part of the Hitler Youth.

I can’t tell you when, because #Coronavirus, but apparently, All the Light We Cannot See is going to become a limited series on Netflix (source)! I can’t wait for that to happen, because I really enjoyed the novel and will be interested to see it on the screen.
