We decided at the Book Club meet-up that if you enjoyed reading Bird Song or Atonement then you are going to love this book!
An historical fiction spanning the years before, during and after the Second World War which follows the lives of Marie-Laure, a girl living in Paris who has been blind since she was six, and Werner an orphan who lives with his sister in an orphanage in Germany.
A heartwarming read, giving an insight as to how the war changed things for them and influenced the paths their lives took.
This book was a huge hit with some club members who absolutely loved it and its intensely descriptive style.
A very thoughtful book which also raised awareness and discussion of how some people’s lives today are experiencing similar things.
A well-written, thought provoking, heart warming book which was awarded a solid 3 stars from the club.
