Join us for a lively librarian-led discussion of the novel, "The Only Woman in the Room: A Novel" by Marie Benedict. Registration is required.
Marie Benedict has produced a thrilling work of historical fiction. A young woman of great beauty and a stunning mind....Her beauty almost certainly saved her from the rising Nazi party and led to marriage with an Austrian arms dealer. Underestimated in everything else, she overheard the Third Reich's plans while at her husband's side. She devised a plan to flee in disguise from their castle. She escaped and landed in Hollywood. She became Hedy Lamarr, screen star! She had an idea that might help the country fight the Nazis...if anyone would listen to her.
