From amazon.com:

Marie-Laure lives with her father in Paris near the Museum of Natural History, where he works as the master of its thousands of locks. When she is six, Marie-Laure goes blind and her father builds a perfect miniature of their neighborhood so she can memorize it by touch and navigate her way home. When she is twelve, the Nazis occupy Paris and father and daughter flee to the walled citadel of Saint-Malo, where Marie-Laure’s reclusive great-uncle lives in a tall house by the sea. With them they carry what might be the museum’s most valuable and dangerous jewel.

In a mining town in Germany, the orphan Werner grows up with his younger sister, enchanted by a crude radio they find. Werner becomes an expert at building and fixing these crucial new instruments, a talent that wins him a place at a brutal academy for Hitler Youth, then a special assignment to track the resistance. More and more aware of the human cost of his intelligence, Werner travels through the heart of the war and, finally, into Saint-Malo, where his story and Marie-Laure’s converge.

I'll send tomorrow morning a Christmas package to Raahe and there's probably place for this Doerr's book in it too ;) Thanks to the courier and Merry Christmas!

Kokkolaan menevien kasaumaan.

Thank you! This interesting book came with lots of others!!!

Oh what a great book, I really really loved it. Beautiful language, intriguing story. One of my favourites this year, I know it already!

Going to Chrissini now by mail :)

Thank you for tagging me and sending this book to me, Chania.
I'm especially curious about it now since you seem to be so fascinated by it. Can't wait to read it :)

The book travels as a little bonus to dutch-book. Sorry you had to wait a bit because of it but hey, I hope the wait was worth it. ;)

Thank you! So kind of you! I'll probably take one of these books with me on vacation, because I want to read them immediately. Thank you for this wonderful surprise, very kind. Also, your postal prices, so jealous.
