Plot Overview:
The novel alternates between two main narratives, beginning in 1944, as the Allies are about to bomb the walled city of Saint-Malo, where Marie-Laure and Werner find themselves, and then moving back in time to trace how these two characters arrived there.
Marie-Laure LeBlanc, a blind girl living in Paris, is forced to flee the city with her father, Daniel LeBlanc, when the Nazis occupy France. Daniel works at the Museum of Natural History, and he may be carrying one of the museum’s most valuable treasures, a fabled diamond known as the Sea of Flames, rumored to have magical powers. They take refuge in Saint-Malo, where Marie-Laure’s great-uncle Etienne lives, a reclusive war veteran haunted by memories of World War I. In Saint-Malo, Marie-Laure learns to navigate her new environment with the help of her father’s carefully crafted miniatures of the city and her own keen instincts.
Werner Pfennig, on the other hand, is an orphan growing up in a mining town in Germany. His talent for fixing radios leads him to the Nazi Youth Academy, where his engineering skills are honed for the German war effort. As he rises through the ranks, Werner becomes part of a specialized unit that tracks and eliminates resistance fighters who are using illegal radio broadcasts to communicate with the Allies.
The novel masterfully weaves together the lives of these two characters, culminating in their eventual encounter during the siege of Saint-Malo. As the Allied forces bomb the city, Werner and Marie-Laure’s fates become inextricably linked in a moment of profound significance.
