An enchanting story of a German boy and an French girl whose paths cross during World War II. The girl is blind, and her father, a locksmith, builds a scale model of their neighborhood that she can use to learn the streets and turns.

A beautifully written book that is a joy to read or to listen to, it won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 2015.
