All the Light We Cannot See

Doerr has wrapped a gift in this story. The quick pacing and well developed characters draw you into the story. At once tragic and heartening, you follow two children, Marie-Laure and Werner, as they grew up before and during WW2. Their lives touch in unexpected ways, and they are never the same. This is a remarkable story of human goodness and beauty.

I would recommend this story to anyone over the age of 14. There are some themes related to war and loss that I don't think younger readers would appreciate or understand.
