This month’s book club selection is All the Light We Cannot See, by Anthony Doerr. We will be meeting at Arden Dimick Library tomorrow (6/25/16) to discuss the book, not to mention to admire the new look of the refurbished library.
All the Light We Cannot See is centered around WWII – and I say “centered around” because the story starts before the war and ends in 2014. If, like me, you are an avid google, the book has topics to chase down. Here are links to a few that might be of interest:
