All The Light That Did Shine!

Fantastic discussion led by our host, Kathy (and Buster). Wonderful book selection. Why are we surprised when it was a Pulitzer Prize Winner for 2015?

We enjoyed the author's video showing locations and some information on how the book was developed. I was surprised it took several years to write.

Buster was in someones' lap the whole meeting!

Happy almost birthday, Roz!
Those bundt cakes are killer good.

Notes on All the Light We Cannot See

FAQ: Answered by the author

What does the title mean?

It’s a reference first and foremost to all the light we literally cannot see: that is, the wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum that are beyond the ability of human eyes to detect (radio waves, of course, being the most relevant). It’s also a metaphorical suggestion that there are countless invisible stories still buried within World War II — that stories of ordinary children, for example, are a kind of light we do not typically see. Ultimately, the title is intended as a suggestion that we spend too much time focused on only a small slice of the spectrum of possibility.
