Three of the library's book clubs read this Pulitzer Prize winning book this year. Set
in World
War II, the novel tells the stories two main characters. A brilliant German boy, Werner Pfennig,
who gets caught up in the Hitler Youth and a blind French girl,
Marie-Laure LeBlanc, who leaves Paris with her father when it falls to
the Germans and spends the war in Saint-Malo, a walled port city in
Brittany.
This is a beautifully written novel and is one of those books that I
rushed to finish because I couldn't put it down and was sad to finish
because it was so good. It was a pleasure to listen to it again to get ready to discuss it in book club.
