All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr

All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr is an excellent novel looking at World War II from multiple perspectives - different people at different times. Jumping back and forth in years works nicely: going forward increases tension, going back gives depth.


Short chapters help maintain pace.


I recommend this for anyone who enjoys reading historical fiction.


If you're a writer, it's well worth reading to examine the structure.
