We got this book last summer for the English 10 book room at my school, but I had never read it before.
Set (mostly) during WWII, the story juxtaposes the narratives of a blind French civilian girl with a German soldier boy.
Once I got a feeling for telhe protagonists, I was worried that this was going to turn into an opposites attract romance type story, but it did not - for which I was grateful.
The book is beautifully written, and sad, and hopeful, and all sorts of complicated things.
