Well written novel about a blind French girl and an orphaned German boy trying to grow up during WWII. It has several themes not just war, but also knowledge, survival, endurance and the legacy of the past. The main characters (there are 63 total) survive in the end and have to learn how to deal with what they have endured. There are several motifs and many symbols. The time line of the novel is not laid out in sequence so it makes an interesting read. I think anyone who enjoys reading will like it too.

Maybe the most beautiful book I've read
I read this at least a year ago, but it left such a deep impact on me, it's one of the few books that I remember. It was instantly engrossing and I was hardly able to put it down until I finished it. I was fully involved with the two main characters, the German boy and the French girl, and their star-crossed paths. The beautifully developed characters and their profound perceptions of their respective worlds were so empathetically described, it was impossible to not feel their stories throughout. I happened to be on a train when I read the last part of the book, and was openly weeping for the last 30 minutes - just at the beauty of the life and achievement described.

Must Read!
A Modern classic! I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys wonderfully crafted fiction set in pre-war Europe. Sweet personal relationships woven into the story of German soldier raised in an orphanage and a blind French girl and her father in Paris. Set aside some time for a cover to cover read... it's that good!
