ALL THE LIGHT WE CANNOT SEE – ANTHONY DOERR

The lives of a young French girl and a German boy collide in this gripping tale of childhood torn apart by war, told with sympathy and sensitivity. The winner of the Pulitzer Prize for fiction, this book is about a blind girl and her father, driven out of Paris by the Nazi occupation. In a parallel story, a young boy in Germany, an orphan, is relocated by the Nazis to an elite school aimed at providing skills for the Reich.

All the Light We Cannot See is haunting. From the chillingly beautiful prose, to the realization of what the title actually means: That underneath the surface of history, there is light - and stories

• that have not been seen; that have gone untold. Book for August: Three Daughters of Eve by Elif Shafak.
