Plot:
Marie-Laure lives in Paris with his father, who works at the Museum of Natural History. She started to lose her sight when she was very young and her father helped her to discover a new world without light, but full of colors.
When the Nazis occupied Paris, the mission of hiding “The Sea of Flames” (the museum most valuable jewel) was given to Marie-Laure`s father. They flee to the walled citadel of Saint-Malo, where her eccentric uncle lived in a big house by the sea.
Werner Pfenning, on the other hand, was a German orphan who lived in a mining town with his little sister. They had a very difficult life full of hunger, necessity, and injustice.
Like every other orphan, his destiny is to work and die at the mines, despite Werner`s dreams of becoming an inventor. However, thanks to a crude radio he found the strength to keep dreaming.
Werner will work hard to make his dream come true even though, the only way to do it is to follow the Nazi regimen. But, is it worth it?
Personal opinion:
In contrast, this book is based on facts but it is all about the details. Anthony Doerr does a wonderful job setting the story additionally it is beautifully written which allows readers to imagine and understand the reality of those difficult times, that cannot be forgotten.
This was the first historical fiction novel I read and I have to say that I fell in love with this genre because of this book. Therefore I would highly recommend it.
