Text summary from the 2023 VCAA Text List

Anthony Doerr’s novel explores the tragedy of war through the story of two young people caught up in the Second World War. Marie-Laure LeBlanc is a young blind girl living in France with her father, the master locksmith of the Paris Museum of Natural History. Self-reliant and resourceful, when the war begins Marie-Laure flees with her father to Saint-Malo and the house of her shell-shocked great-uncle. Werner Pfennig is a young boy living in a German orphanage with his sister, Jutta, until his exceptional aptitude for science and technology bring him to the attention of the Nazis. While Marie-Laure comes to aid the resistance, Werner is sent to the German military, where he tracks rogue radio operators. Eventually their paths cross in Saint-Malo during one of the final battles of the war.

The narrative moves between the perspectives of the two children as they navigate life before and during the war, creating detailed pictures of their very different worlds. Told primarily through a series of flashbacks, the story moves quickly through a sequence of short chapters. The vibrant characterisation and rich detail of the narrative allow the reader to reflect on the central themes of the resilience of the human spirit, the horror of war, the shared humanity that connects people even in the worst circumstances, and the roles of destiny and free will. The novel is a celebration of both science and human nature.
