All the Light we Cannot See<\/em>n ambitious novel about a blind French girl and a German boy who cross paths in occupied France as both try to survive the devastation of World War II. The stunning imagery interspersed with breathless moments make this one a true winner. The book won the Pulitzer prize for fiction in 2015. What do you do when you pick up a book about war and stumble onto sentences like, \u201cThe eggs taste like clouds. Like spun gold\u201d, peaches described as \u201cwedges of wet sunlight\u201d and destruction as \u201cAt the lowest tides, the barnacled ribs of a thousand shipwrecks stick out above the sea\u201d? Savour the book is what anyone would do and that is just what I did. This Pulitzer winning novel is a true delight to the senses tracing the times before and after the German occupation of France.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
