All the Light We Cannot See
by Anthony Doerr

This book has won much praise for its lavish World War II plot and dramatic detail. A story of humanity and love during one of the lowest points of civilization, this book has touched us like very few have recently, with one reader sending a company-wide e-mail praising it effusively. Highly recommended.
