Her days pass with her father in their usual routine, until the war begins to force them to flee far away carrying a dangerous secret. On the other side of the war, in an orphanage in a small German city, a German teenager spends his days with his little sister, fascinated by the magic of the radio and its ability to transmit news and stories from distant lands. Werner pursues his obsession to become an expert in assembling and repairing radios, until the war calls him to join the engineering forces in the German army. Through their story, Anthony Doerr tells in his enchanting novel about the goodness that we may see despite the ugliness of war, and about what war does to dreamers.
