Loved

all the light we cannot see is such a great novel for its characterization for its pacing and for its look at how the war affects these two people in very different circumstances I really think it is a truly fantastic book and one I'd highly recommend

Loved

I just thought this was a really interesting novel I feel like the way that it looks at the resistance in Rome at this point in time was really interesting and also the way this book looks at the kind of like unique situation of the Vatican in the second world war was something I hadn't really thought about before and I thought it was just a really fascinating book

Loved

there is so much about this book that I love the characterization is incredible I also think it looks at a bit of the second world war that isn't spoken about very much and Obie and Rose are both such wonderful characters with such different ways of viewing the world I just think it's an incredible novel and one I'd highly recommend

Loved

there's just a lot in this novel that I found really powerful really interesting I feel like it is very clever and moving as an aftermath novel that really looks at the impact of the second world war on you know this small rural place
