Itty Bitty Book Review: "All the Light We Cannot See"


"All the Light We Cannot See" by Anthony Doerr

This is an amazing novel....wow!   It's a WW II story really and while it is about all those particular horrors,  it is absolutely beautifully written.  There is not a mis step and every word is a gem.  It could so easily lapse into sentimentality but never does.  The whole thing is poetry really and while it is twice as long as Mrs. Dalloway,  it goes quickly somehow.   What a nice break to have chapter breaks about every two pages after no chapter breaks at all in Mrs. D.!
