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.
