Review of 'All the light we cannot see' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

Two young people arrive by very different paths in Saint Malo to take possession of their lives. The writing is vivid, the story well researched and believable, but this book mostly succeeds (for me) because of its deep characterization. I love the questions posed by Werner about morality and his final choices. Marie-Laure is someone who is resilient enough to face loss and find the strength to avenge it.
