Rezension von Melanie“All the Light We Cannot See” leaves me with a deep sense of sadness. Anthony Doerr manages to say so much and so little at the same time with short, concise chapters, some of which are only half a page long. The fates of Werner, Marie-Laure, Jutta, Frederick, and Volkheimer are incredibly moving, even though we learn very little about some of them. The book shows how beautiful and ugly the world is at the same time, that the end is not just black or white, and that survival does not necessarily mean a happy ending, that there is no happy ending anyway. Nothing is sugarcoated. What fascinated me most is that the emotions somehow arise all by themselves, without any character crying or screaming. Especially at the end, everything is just simply described. The last chapters left me with a lump in my throat, and what remains is sadness and sympathy for these fictional characters, who represent so many real people.
Rezension von CarlaI enjoyed the writing and the story. Really interesting structure of chapters and how it jumps in time.
Rezension von Emil UffelmannI was skeptical to read yet another ww2 story, but this one was exceptional. I finished it within a week, and was left with a feeling of sad happiness.
