All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr – Bed Threads

This sweeping literary saga tells the story of Marie-Laure, a young blind woman living in Paris during World War II. Unable to see since she was a small child, she learns to navigate her neighbourhood by memorising a miniature of the city streets, built for her by her father. When the war seeps into Paris her life will be forever entwined with that of a young orphan boy, tasked with intercepting covert radio transmissions many miles away in Germany. An instant success when it was published in 2014 and the winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, All The Light We Cannot See is as cinematic and transporting as it was when it was first published.
