Like any good book, there were multiple points in Anthony Doerr's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel All The Light We Cannot See where I had to put it down. The novel offers a look into the horrors of World War II-era Europe, as well as the resilience, hope, and relationships that propel the characters forward. Not to mention that when I figured out where Doerr got the title from, I nearly cried. Netflix finally released the first trailer for their limited series adaptation, and I can already tell it'll leave me in tears by the end. Keep reading for everything you need to know about the show!

Marie-Laure lives near the Museum of Natural History in Paris with her father Daniel, who also serves as the museum's lock master. When the Nazi occupation of Paris begins, Marie-Laure and her father flee to Saint-Malo to live with her great uncle, carrying the museum's most valuable — and potentially most dangerous — jewel with them.
Werner is an orphan in Germany who becomes an expert at fixing radios after he discovers an old model with his sister. His affinity for the technology earns him a spot at an academy for Hitler Youth and in a special assignment tracking the Resistance.
