This is the story of a blind French girl and a German boy whose paths collide in occupied France as both try to survive the devastation of World War II.
I liked the beautiful imagery. Both in the literal sense - the physical world of 1940s Paris/Germany - and the metaphorical. It's woven with scientific and philosophical references to light, to seeing and not seeing, and the differences between the hearing sense and the seeing sense.
I did find the flipping back and forth between different time periods a little confusing.
