Indie Next List feature: Anthony Doerr



Stop by the store for a copy of the May Indie Next List flyer, out on our counters now. 

Its cover book, All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr,  is a novel about a blind French girl and a German boy whose paths collide in occupied France as both try to survive the devastation of World War II.  You'll note that Stephanie and Roger Hochschild gave the book a thumbs-up in our May print newsletter. Their 17-year-old daughter Katie loved it, too, testimony to its cross-generational appeal. The New York Times agreed in this review published on Monday.
