Beschreibung
Marie-Laure experiences a happy childhood in Paris with her loving father, who works at the Museum of Natural History. However, life puts her to the first hard test when she goes blind at an early age. Her father builds her a perfect model of their neighborhood so she can memorize the streets; he teaches her how to navigate unfamiliar spaces and read Braille (and instills in her a love for Verne's works). Six years later, the Nazis occupy Paris, and father and daughter flee to the fortified town of Saint-Malo, where Marie's reclusive great-uncle lives in a tall house by the sea. Is it even possible to find a safe refuge in a turbulent Europe? Especially when Marie's father may have brought a dangerous secret with him? In a German mining colony, a gifted orphan named Werner grows up with his sister, longing to escape his predetermined fate in the mines. He wants to uncover all the mysteries surrounding him; he is fascinated by science and technology. His talent and the ease with which he can repair any radio earn him a place at an elite military academy for the Hitler Youth – he becomes a specialist in uncovering resistance activities. Werner, increasingly aware of the consequences of his abilities, eventually finds himself in Saint-Malo while searching for illegal transmitters.
