"What a delight! This novel has exquisite writing and a wonderfully
suspenseful story. A book you'll tell your friends
about..."--Frances Itani, author of Deafening
"This novel has the physical and emotional heft of a
masterpiece...[All the Light We Cannot See"] presents two
characters so interesting and sympathetic that readers will keep
turning the pages hoping for an impossibly happy ending...Highly
recommended for fans of Michael Ondaatje's The English
Patient"."--Evelyn Beck "Library Journal "
""All the Light We Cannot See" is a dazzling, epic work of fiction.
Anthony Doerr writes beautifully about the mythic and the intimate,
about snails on beaches and armies on the move, about fate and love
and history and those breathless, unbearable moments when they all
come crashing together."--Jess Walter, author of Beautiful
Ruins
"Doerr sees the world as a scientist, but feels it as a poet. He
knows about everything"--radios, diamonds, mollusks, birds,
flowers, locks, guns--but he also writes a line so beautiful,
creates an image or scene so haunting, it makes you think forever
differently about the big things--love, fear, cruelty, kindness,
the countless facets of the human heart. Wildly suspenseful,
structurally daring, rich in detail and soul, Doerr's new novel is
that" novel, the one you savor, and ponder, and happily lose sleep
over, then go around urging all your friends to read--now."--J.R.
Moehringer, author of Sutton and The Tender Bar
"This jewel of a story is put together like a vintage timepiece,
its many threads coming together so perfectly. Doerr's writing and
imagery are stunning. It's been a while since a novel had me under
its spell in this fashion. The story still lives on in my
head."--Abraham Verghese, author of Cutting for Stone
"A tender exploration of this world's paradoxes; the beauty of the
laws of nature and the terrible ends to which war subverts them;
the frailty and the resilience of the human heart; the immutability
of a moment and the healing power of time. The language is as
expertly crafted as the master locksmith's models in the story, and
the settings as intricately evoked. A compelling and uplifting
novel."--M.L. Stedman, author of The Light Between Oceans
