È il 1934, a Parigi, quando a Marie-Laure, una bambina di sei anni con i capelli rossi e il viso pieno di lentiggini, viene diagnosticata una malattia degenerativa: sarà cieca per il resto della vita. Ne ha dodici quando i nazisti occupano la città, costringendo lei e il padre a trovare rifugio tra le mura di Saint-Malo, nella casa vicino al mare del prozio. Attraverso le imposte azzurre sempre chiuse, perché così impone la guerra, le arriva fragorosa l’eco delle onde che sbattono contro i bastioni. Qui, Marie-Laure dovrà imparare a sopravvivere a un nuovo tipo di buio. In quello stesso anno, in un orfanotrofio della Germania nazista vive Werner,...

More About Tutta la luce che non vediamo
To shut your eyes is to guess nothing of blindness. Beneath your world of skies and faces and buildings exists a rawer and older world, a place where surface planes disintegrate and sounds ribbon in shoals through the air. Marie-Laure can sit in an attic high above the street and hear lilies rustling in marshes two miles away. She hears Americans scurry across farm fields, directing their huge cannons at the smoke of Saint-Malo; she hears families sniffling around hurricane lamps in cellars, crows hopping from pile to pile, flies landing on corpses in... We all come into existence as a single cell, smaller than a speck of dust. Much smaller. Divide. Multiply. Add and subtract. Matter changes hands, atoms flow in and out, molecules pivot, proteins stitch together, mitochondria send out their oxidative dictates; we begin as a microscopic electrical swarm. The lungs the brain the heart. Forty weeks later, six trillion cells get crushed in the vise of our mothers birth canal and we howl. Then the world starts in on us. Anthony Doerr, All the Light We Cannot See // Every hour, she thinks, someone for whom the war was memory falls out of the world. Anthony Doerr, All the Light We Cannot See //
Honestly, wtf? I mean, we all know the blind person trope (Daredevil, etc) and the lovable Nazi trope (Hiroshima Mon Amour) and the mystical object searched for by evil Nazis trope (Indiana Jones), so why throw all of these together? The book was readable but no more so than a pulp fiction thriller. Honestly, I don't see this as being... I always thought, or imagined, that there were these invisible lines trembling in our wake, outlining our trajectories through life, throbbing with electric energy. Lines that sometimes cross one other, or follow in parallel ellipses without ever touching, or meet up for one brief moment and then part. A universe of lines crisscrossing... This book was so beautiful and haunting. I fell in love with so many of the characters, and loved how their lives were weaved together. Knowing the time period this was set in, I knew the ending would hurt. And it did, though I didn't shed as many tears as I expected.The writing was incredible, the descriptions so vivid. It did a superb...
