All the Light We Cannot See — France
The entire series is set in Saint-Malo during the final days of German occupation in 1944 — Werner searches for a hidden diamond while Allied bombs level the walled city.
Saint-Malo was bombarded by American forces in August 1944 when its German garrison refused to surrender. About 80% of the medieval walled city was destroyed. The city was liberated on 17 August 1944 after two weeks of fierce fighting.
