♥♥♥♥♥
This is the Pulitzer Prize for fiction winner of 2015, and reading this
I can understand why.
The writing was beautiful and the way Doerr paints with words is
inspiring. The timeline in the book jumps a little from pre-war time to during
the war.
The main characters Marie-Laure and her father has a beautiful
relationship, the way he decided that after she became blind that she will not
sit in a corner and wallow about it, made me feel motivated. He turned a bad
situation around and helped Marie-Laure learn her surrounding area by building
a scale model of their town. Teaching her how to get around without help from
others. Doerr pulls you into this world of his.
It also follows Werner and his sister Jutta, who are orphans. Werner is
fascinated by radios, and he and Jutta finds one, he repairs it and they listen
to stories being told by a voice late at night.
The book jumps between the point of views of Marie-Laure and Werner.
I found the way Doerr weaved the two stories together was captivating
and it kept me enthralled throughout the book.
