Three adjectives:
Powerful, Lyrical,Vibrant
Dinner conversation with Mr. Doerr:
"How did you manage to create the perfect balance between the book's main characters, one that enabled the reader to sympathize with both the Germans and the French during WWII?"
At our dinner, I would serve bread pudding, canned peaches and a large pitcher of clear, cold water.
I loved this book. We read it in our UU book group last year. You're right, he has an uncanny touch as a writer. And the ending was deeply sad but inevitable.
