Marie-Laure lives with her father in Paris near the Museum of Natural History where he works as the master of its thousands of locks. When she is six, Marie-Laure goes blind and her father builds a perfect miniature of their neighborhood so she can memorize it by touch and navigate her way home. When she is twelve, the Nazis occupy Paris, and father and daughter flee to the walled citadel of Saint-Malo, where Marie-Laure’s reclusive great uncle lives in a tall house by the sea. With them they carry what might be the museum’s most valuable and dangerous jewel.

In a mining town in Germany, the orphan Werner grows up with his younger sister, enchanted by a crude radio they find. Werner becomes an expert at building and fixing these crucial new instruments, a talent that wins him a place at a brutal academy for Hitler Youth, then a special assignment to track the Resistance. More and more aware of the human cost of his intelligence, Werner travels through the heart of the war and, finally, into Saint-Malo, where his story and Marie-Laure’s converge.

Doerr’s “stunning sense of physical detail and gorgeous metaphors” (San Francisco Chronicle) are dazzling. Deftly interweaving the lives of Marie-Laure and Werner, he illuminates the ways, against all odds, people try to be good to one another. Ten years in the writing, All the Light We Cannot See is a magnificent, deeply moving novel from a writer “whose sentences never fail to thrill” (Los Angeles Times).

All our books are carefully selected and are in great re-readable condition. They are the kind of books we would love to receive ourselves so you can confidently gift them knowing they are exactly as described. We use actual photos of each book in our listings so you know what you are buying. All books are priced the same, as we believe the value of a book is not in the condition of its cover, but the content of its pages.

CONDITION GUIDE
Excellent– We’re not even sure if it has even been read it looks that good. Great for gifting, but a sad state for a pre-loved book. These books deserve to be read!!
Great – A book that has been read but treated with care.
Loved – These books have been well read and enjoyed maybe more than once. Cover may be dog-eared or corners of pages have been bent.
Vintage – They may be musty, but that’s their charm. There may be evidence of the previous owners (inscriptions in the cover, the odd marking etc), it’s their history that makes them more precious, its all part of their narrative. These books are old and show it – and we love them. Open the cover and breathe it all in.
