I&#8217;m not too far in (hence the savoring part), but already the title has played a huge part in the book, layering meaning in several different aspects of the story. Doerr reflects the title as &#8220;&#8230; a metaphorical suggestion that there are countless invisible stories still buried within World War II.&#8221; And about the war it is, and every war before and since. But the thing I am really attached to are the two main characters, a brilliant young German boy named Werner and a brave blind French girl named Marie-Laure.
