Open your eyes and see what you can with them before they close forever.

All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr is an incredible journey through the complexities of World War II. This book takes us into the lives of characters from both France and Germany, offering a unique perspective on the war.

First of all I found the portrayal of both the French and German perspectives to be a refreshing and enlightening aspect of the book. It adds depth to the story and allows readers to see the war from different angles.

Doerr's writing really paints a beautiful picture of the settings and brings the emotions of the characters to life. Doerr delves into the lives of the characters, giving us a nuanced understanding of their experiences and how the war impacts them.

I must also mention the excellent narration by Zach Appelman, which brings the characters to life and enhances the overall experience.

It is a must-read for hisfic fans. You should read this before the Netflix series release on November!!!
