One of my choice book this summer was All The Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr. It`s set in France, in a town under nazi rule. The novel`s main characters are a blind, French girl named Marie-Laure, and a young Nazi soldier named Werner. Marie-Laure uses a radio to broadcast Nazi artillery locations to the allies while Werner is part of a team that tracks down anti-Nazi broadcasts and kills the people responsible.

As a child Werner listened to a French Broadcast with his sister. One day in the army Werner picks up a broadcast that he believes is the same one he listened too as a child. He doesn`t tell anyone in his crew about it, instead he goes and tracks it down alone. There he meets Marie-Laure and falls in love with her. They basically become friends and help each other out.

I thought that the book was alright. To me it was neat that two people from very different backgrounds can come together despite the differences between them.
