ALL THE LIGHT WE CANNOT SEE

Well, I started this book 1 year ago but for some reason couldn't finish it. I forgot the book at my home during the sem break and hence forgot about it. But then since I got the Kobo, I was into reading ebooks, the first one started with re reading one of my favorite books (Dan Brown Origins). After completing that, I was hunting for a new book for a fresh read and I stumbled upon this unread book of mine, so I began it once again from the first page, I knew the initial 40% of the book from my past reading, so it was a quick read, but after that, the book just transformed into something different. The book follows 2 people navigating their life from opposite sides of the World War 2, a french blind girl named Marie and a genius radio operator turned German (boy) soldier, despite the world stealing the innocence from both these young children's world, they never back down to the cruelness of the world. The book beautifully drives both of their narratives via alternative chapters. Unlike most other books, these 2 don't exactly meet until the last act of the book, well into the final third of the act that is but wow, it is worth it though. The book describes the horrors of the war, on both sides of the battlefield. How 2 young children navigate their life amongst the chaos, with both of them losing their loved ones throughout their journey. 
Some lines touched my heart too, like "How does the brain, which lives without a spark if light, build for a world full of light.", "Open your eyes and see what you can see with them, before they close them forever." and from the series "The most important light is the light we cannot see."
The book is filled with poetic lines like this. I recommend this book to everyone, especially in this war climate we find us under, the writing is beautiful, you'll find yourself getting attached to these characters, and do ensure that you have some tissues reads because the ending might (will!) break you.
