I agree- I liked Light more than Nightingale. I liked Nightingale way more than Women in the Castle.

Funny – I see the comparison but for me All the Light We Cannot See was so much better. The Nightingale didn’t take off (for me) until maybe the last third! I didn’t read them close together and All The Light We Cannot See was first so maybe that’s the difference.

I would love to read this again for the first time.

Exquisite review!

I don’t know, I was the same way. When I saw it was being released in paperback I used that as my impetus. Plus, I’ve not been having great luck with upcoming releases so thought I’d go with a sure thing.

The visuals at the end were quite vivid. I had to go back and read my review in light of yours. http://www.thecuecard.com/books/all-the-light-we-cannot-see/ . I read The Nightingale recently and liked it as well. Sometimes it’s the most popular of books that I get to last. lol.

At one point I even had two copies of it, given to me as gifts. And I love WWII stories! So, why??
Anyway, I’m glad you loved it – maybe it will spur me on!

That’s so interesting because it reminded me of The Nightingale. They both had a very similar tone. I’d agree with you that Nightingale had a faster pace and more plot. I love both of them! I keep thinking I’ve read enough WWII fiction but there’s always another story to tell!

I didn’t realize it was his first novel! I wish I was a short story fan but it’s one of the genres that I keep setting aside.

I wondered if you had read it! I was going to text you in case you hadn’t. It really is gorgeous.

You’re not alone- I have a book friend who gave it up because it was just too slow in the beginning. Somehow, the slower pace didn’t bother me.
