The booklovers in Old Palmâs Ladies Book Club tend to read the latest, most thought-provoking novels and this monthâs selection certainly fits the bill. It is Anthony Doerrâs award-winning âAll the Light We Cannot See, an ambitious novel about a blind French girl and a German boy whose paths collide in occupied France as both try to survive the devastation of World War II. The New York Times calls the book âas precise and artful and ingenious as the puzzle boxes the heroineâs locksmith father builds for her. Impressively, it is also a vastly entertaining feat of storytelling.â The Washington Post also praised the book as the best novel of 2014, describing it as âenthrallingly told, beautifully written and so emotionally plangent that some passages bring tears.â Ten years in the making, âAll the Light We Cannot Seeâ is one of the Idaho-based authorâs finest books and a work of art that the Ladies Book Club has enthusiastically embraced.
