📖 All The Light We Cannot See
★★★★★ To me, All The Lights We Cannot See captured what World War II must have been like to those living through it very well. Both my parents were born in World War II in the Netherlands. My father at the start of the war (for the Netherlands) in 1940 and my mother at the end of the war in 1944.
