ABOUT THE EVENT
The Phoenix Book Club, Phoenixville Public Library’s book discussion group for adults of all ages, will meet virtually on Monday, July 12 at 7:00 PM. The group will discuss Marie Benedict’s bestselling novel, The Only Woman in the Room. She possessed a stunning beauty. And also a stunning mind. Her beauty almost certainly saved her from the rising Nazi party and led to marriage with an Austrian arms dealer. Underestimated on everything else, she overheard the Third Reich’s plans while with her husband, understanding more than anyone would guess. Her whirlwind escape landed her in Hollywood as Hedy Lamarr, screen star. But she kept a secret more shocking that her heritage or marriage—she was a scientist who knew a few secrets about the enemy. And her idea—if anyone would listen—might help the country fight the Nazis.
