SUMMARY:History Buff Book Chat: All the Light We Cannot See
DESCRIPTION:For our March History Buff Book Chat\, we will discuss All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr. \nMarie-Laure lives with her father in Paris near the Museum of Natural History where he works as the master of its thousands of locks.

When she is twelve\, the Nazis occupy Paris\, and father and daughter flee to the walled citadel of Saint-Malo\, where Marie-Laure’s reclusive great uncle lives in a tall house by the sea. With them they carry what might be the museum’s most valuable and dangerous jewel. \nJoin in a conversation about a different book each month from 12:00 – 1:00 p.m. The Book Chat group is open to everyone.

For four very different women\, winning the competition would present a crucial chance to change their lives. \nJoin in a conversation about a different book each month from 12:00 – 1:00 p.m. The Book Chat group is open to everyone.
