    About this ebook

    This book summary and analysis was created for individuals who want to extract the essential contents and are too busy to go through the full version. This book is not intended to replace the original book. Instead, we highly encourage you to buy the full version.

    From multiple award-winner and renowned author Anthony Doerr comes the dazzling and electric novel about a blind French girl and an orphaned German boy whose fates lead them to one another as they struggle to survive the heat of the Second World War.

    Marie-Laure lives in Paris with her father, the Keeper of Keys at the Museum of Natural History. At the age of six, cataracts bring her blindness. Her father then constructs a scale model of their neighborhood, so she can learn her way back home. Six years later, the Germans began their occupation of Paris, so Marie-Laure and her father flee to Saint-Malo where her great-uncle Etienne lived in a tall, narrow house near the sea. Entrusted to Marie-Laure's father is the museum's most precious and perhaps most dangerous artifact—the Sea of Flames.

    In a coal mining town in Germany live the orphaned siblings, Werner and Jutta. They find an old radio, and Werner, being a curious boy, grows a talent in fixing radios. His knack for electronics earns him a recommendation in a ruthless Hitler Youth academy. He is assigned to a division that locates and eliminates rebels who make anti-German broadcasts. When Werner's unit is called to trace the resistance in Saint-Malo, his path finally collides with Marie-Laure's in an encounter that will change their lives forever.

      All The Light We Cannot See - Summarized for Busy People - Goldmine Reads

      INTRODUCTION

      Marie-Laure lives in Paris with her father, Daniel—the Keeper of Keys in the Museum of Natural History. Cataracts cause Marie-Laure's blindness, and her father creates a wooden replica of the neighborhood they lived in to help her find her way through it. Before the Germans arrive, the museum entrusts a precious diamond called Sea of Flames to Daniel for safekeeping.

      Jutta and Werner are orphaned siblings who live in Zollverein in Germany. Science interests Werner, so he repairs a broken radio in order to listen to science lectures in France. One day, a Nazi official asks him to fix a radio, and he is recommended to a school for Nazis in Schulpforta.

      Marie-Laure travels to Saint-Malo with her father and begins to live with Etienne, her great-uncle. Daniel creates a replica of the town and places the Sea of Flames inside the model of Etienne's home. When the invading Germans seize the radios in Saint-Malo, Marie-Laure is able to keep one in the attic. Later on, the Germans arrest Daniel and send him to a prison camp located in Germany.

      At the Nazi school in Schulpforta, technical sciences teacher Dr. Hauptmann recognizes Werner's aptitude and teaches him to identify the location of a radio broadcast through trigonometry.

      Back in Saint-Malo, Marie-Laure and Etienne join a band of local women who resist the Nazi invaders. The Allied intelligence, which Etienne broadcasts using the radio hidden in his attic, is inscribed on the slips of paper baked inside the loaves of bread given to Marie-Laure. Later on, Etienne is arrested by the Germans when he is caught outside
