reminder: reblogs keep the posts circulation/from getting lost
just finished 'all the light we cannot see' and am sobbing. the way this book was written was the most beautiful thing i have read. anthony doerr's writing style conveyed the utter desperation felt when anguished and overwhelmed so perfectly, and the beauty of life despite it all even better. (spoilers ahead) the way life continues on after werner's death, how the world keeps spinning is just so incredible. it could have easily become one of those love-at-first-sight (or first-hear lol) books where the protagonist's story ends when their loved one dies, but it didn't. i loved how the povs changed, and how the timelines were sliced up and shoved back together so we are constantly gasping and excited and apprehensive. it tied so perfectly together; the radio that saved werner and jutta throughout their foster care was also what saved etienne, kept him from going mad; how marie-laure cannot see and how werner loves to listen; how the stone was there for all of this and yet played the side character with just a few lines - but how they changed marie, von rumpel, daniel's lives so much.
it's mentioned so little, during marie-laure's povs, that she cannot see. her povs are so bright, inquisitive, full of life. i cannot remember reading about how much she wished she could see, or about how because she is disabled she must sit back and let the germans take her. no, she was resourceful and fought back; she played the radio, she snuck to the ocean, she was ready with a knife for von rumpel. werner and marie-laure's lives are so intricately connected despite meeting, properly, once.
werner, werner oh werner. maybe my favourite character, i'm not sure, they all had such depth to them. but werner has so much potential. and he was so cowardly, and he should have helped frederick, and i cried when he killed the little girl with her mum, and he was so entranced by marie-laure, and he should have listened and written to jutta, and volkheimer loved him like a little brother, and he died but the world kept going,,, he was so brilliant and the parallels between marie-laure and him are too much for me. he saw such evil and did nothing about it. so much of his povs, especially at the start of the book, are about what he can see - the batteries, the wires, the problems.. he sees frederick struggling; he sees it all yet does so little. and yet when it comes down to seeing past the physical, into what werner is doing for the germans, into seeing the ethical ramifications for his actions, he chooses to turn his gaze.
they are the realest characters i have read and have opened my eyes (pun intended) about what life is, where to find beauty in this world amongst all the wreckage of other civilisations, amongst broken people and hurting creatures, amongst things beyond physical. it all ties together so beautiful and just ughh
