Award-winning novelist Anthony Doerr's latest is set in deep in World War II Europe. French teen Marie-Laure LeBlanc is blind. She has fled Nazi-occupied Paris for the port city of Saint-Malo in Brittany. Meanwhile, German orphan Werner Pfennig's technical brilliance has brought him to the attention of the Nazi powers-that-be who are intent on tracking illegal radio transmissions. Doerr skillfully connects these two narrative threads to create a novel that proves that there are compelling stories yet to be told about World War II.
