Book Review: All The Light We Cannot See by Amna Rashid
It's been a long time since a book moved me as much as "All the light we cannot see" by Anthony Doerr did. Set in the times of WWII, in the moors of Germany and France, this radiant book touches every basic essence of human emotions and his life; love, war, fate, grief. It is an astonishingly beautiful tale of a young blind girl, Marie Laurie from France - who explores the world through her imagination with a twinkling wonder in her heart and who is compelled to face the aftermaths of war with her father who has his own secrets - and a young orphan, Warner Pfenning from Germany, having his own beguiling questions for life, whose talents and skills write his breath taking journey - and their fates converging in the most surprising way.
This book is a jigsaw puzzle that keeps the readers clinging to it till the end in the search of the missing piece. Through its gripping characters and their fine development, strong prose and intense scenarios, Doerr urges the reader to fall all over in love with this one in a kind book. Jaw dropping, arousing, and heart warming, this book is a piece of art. Lucky are those hands which get to place it in them, for it surely stupefies one with its engaging storyline and rare to find grace.
