Congratulations to Anthony Doerr and his novel All The Light We Cannot See which has won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, America’s most prestigious literary prize.

The novel is a story about a blind French girl and a German soldier whose paths collide in occupied France as both try to survive the devastation of World War II. A National Book Award finalist and a New York Times bestseller. Unputdownable and perfect for long plane journeys, according to reviews.  The critical reception has been a bit mixed, although they all seem to agree it’s a page-turner. It’s been on my bedside table for a while and now I’ll definitively start it! Here are some reviews.
