Novel about WWII focus of discussion at Derby Public Library

DERBY - The Derby Public Library has scheduled its next Lunchtime Book Discussion for 12:30 p.m. March 30.

The selected title is the emotional New York Times' 

bestselling, All the Light We Cannot See, by the award-winning author Anthony Doerr.  

The sweeping novel begins in 1944, then goes back to 1934, telling the separate stories of a blind French girl and an 

orphaned Nazi boy during the of German occupation. 

Their paths collide as they both try to survive the devastation of World War II. 

It is through their individual and intertwined tales that the author re-creates the deprived civilian conditions of war-France and the strictly controlled lives of the military 

occupiers.  
This page turner has been described as “a novel to live in and learn from.”  

Multiple copies of the book are available at the circulation desk.  

Participants are asked to bring a sandwich and a friend as they “chat and chew.”  
Dessert and beverages will be provided.
