Introducing All the Light We Cannot See

ALL THE LIGHT WE CANNOT SEE TAKES PLACE DURING WORLD WAR II. THE stories of two young people are told, giving two incredibly different perspectives during the War: Marie-Laure Leblanc, a young child who must escape Paris, France, and Werner Pfennig, a child in Germany who grows up to join the Nazis. The story takes place over the span of ten years from 1934 to 1944.

In 1934, Marie-Laure Leblanc is living in Paris, France, with her father. Her father works as a locksmith. As the war moves closer to Paris, Daniel is asked to make three copies of a precious stone that is never shown to the public called the Sea of Flames. The real stone and its copies are then given to four couriers. The four people do not know whether they have the real stone or not. Daniel ends up receiving one of the stones.

Marie-Laure lost her sight as a young child. To help her, Daniel created a model of their house and their neighborhood. Marie-Laure is eventually able to navigate the area they live in confidently. However, that all changes when Daniel and Marie-Laure must leave Paris and escape to Saint-Malo. Marie-Laure feels afraid at the thought of leaving her home and the safety of knowing the area where she lives.

Marie-Laure and Daniel arrive in Saint-Malo where they live with her uncle Etienne and Madame Manec. Daniel promises that he will never leave Marie-Laure, and he begins to build her a model of the house in Saint-Malo.

In Germany in 1934, Werner Pfennig and his sister Jutta are orphans living in an orphanage in Zollverein. Werner takes great interest in a radio program hosted by a man in France, and he begins to teach himself about electronics. He eventually learns how to build his own radios.

When word travels around about Werner's skill in electronics and radios, he is put into a Nazi training program at the National Political Institutes of Education. He hates the training he is receiving and wishes he could be back with his sister Jutta. However, he is eventually put in charge of finding people who are sending illegal radio signals.

In 1944, Werner's unit arrives in Saint-Malo. Their mission is to find the person sending illegal intelligence broadcasts and destroy them. Von Rumpel is also on the island with a mission to find the Sea of Flames. His motivation to find the stone is that he believes it will cure the cancer he is dying from. Daniel and Etienne are both captured from the house leaving Marie-Laure alone.
