The talk is sponsored by the Trumbull Library as part of the "One Book, One Town" program. Anthony Doerr's 2015 Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, "All the Light We Cannot See," is the Trumbull Library's "One Book, One Town" selection for 2016.
The Battle of Saint-Malo in August 1944 was a small struggle within a larger fight -- the Allied breakout from Normany after D-Day.

Its subsequent bombardment by U.S. forces plays an integral role in Doerr's book.
