MARIE-LAURE LIVES WITH HER FATHER in Paris near the Museum of Natural History, where he works as the master of its thousands of locks. When she is six, Marie-Laure goes blind and her father builds a perfect miniature of their neighborhood so she can memorize it by touch and navigate her way home. When she is twelve, the Nazis occupy Paris and father and daughter flee to the walled citadel of Saint-Malo, where Marie-Laure's reclusive great-uncle lives in a tall house by the sea. With them they carry what might be the museum's most valuable and dangerous jewel.
In a mining town in Germany, the orphan Werner grows up with his younger sister, enchanted by a crude radio they find. Werner becomes an expert at building and fixing these crucial new instruments, a talent that wins him a place at a brutal academy for Hitler Youth, then a special assignment to track the resistance. More and more aware of the human cost of his intelligence, Werner travels through the heart of the war and, finally, into Saint-Malo, where his story and Marie- Laure's converge.

評分##這是我讀的最長的一本書。好幾次在哭。結尾其實有點無趣瞭/周四下午跑完步,四點多排在學一五色水餃的隊伍裏。站在無障礙通道的斜坡上,陽光柔和又摻雜著樹影。
評分##It’s so beautifully written.
評分##This thing won the Pulitzer? 美國人編二戰故事得到的就是這種結果… 還要插入一個莫名其妙的鑽石故事。我再也不因為標題好看買書瞭。
評分##The ending is beyond words. It is so well written, that it is impossible not to feel the story melting inside your chest. An Epic

評分emmmmm...it's okay, I guess, the words used were extremely beautiful, but the story is just ordinary, the writing of this book is undoubtedly skillful, but it didn't lead much resonance in my heart. Read this for studying, I think.
