Holds Alert: ALL THE LIGHT WE CANNOT SEE

An advance review by Janet Maslin in today’s New York Times sent the novel All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr (S&S/Scribner, May 2014; Audio exclusive from MidWest Tape), rising on Amazon to # 167.

The book arrives next week with fanfare from both librarians and booksellers. Booksellers made it the #1 pick for the May IndieNext list and it is also on the LibraryReads list (If you need further convincing, check the 16 peer reviews on Edelweiss.).

Maslin calls it “hauntingly beautiful.” Check your holds; they are heavy in some areas.
