What a fabulous read! I've read other stories set during wartime but not one like this. Brilliantly told and one that illustrates the nuttiness of war through two main characters, a young blind French girl and a young German boy. Both are trapped for different reasons; both experience the light we cannot see. It's not often I read a book that resonates like this one. War is more than battles and more than victories and defeats. This is one book I wouldn't mind reading again. Not only for the story but to savor the authors words, his turn of phrase, his take on the human condition. Bravo!
