Hello Bookworms,
A little late, but wanting to capture our last meeting before we meet again! We read All the Light We Cannot See: A Novel by Anthony Doerr. We met on May 7, at Alain’s French Bistro, in Nyack. We had a lively conversation over some pretty nice food!! The book, if you can still recall, takes place during one of the last battles of WWII in a small, fortified town in Brittany, France. The narrative flows back and forth in time. The story was mainly about a girl whose inner light guides her as she manages to appreciate beauty despite her blindness, as opposed to greed and vanity - which led to so much suffering and violence. Some of us liked it better than others - “Vive la difference”. We were all in agreement however, that although the story and writing itself was rather good, it paled in comparison to the sonorous accolades the book and author received. Well, enjoy the weekend and hopefully the beginnings of summer!!!
A bientot!
