RCYC Book Group – The Only Woman in the Room

Meeting back at the club again to discuss:

The Only Woman in the Room – by Marie Benedict

The story of Hedy Lamarr, screen star. 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 and understood more than anyone would guess. She devised a plan to flee in disguise from their castle, and the whirlwind escape landed her in Hollywood.
