Book Overview

The New York Times and USA Today Bestseller!

She possessed a stunning beauty. She also possessed a stunning mind. Could the world handle both?

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

But she kept a secret more shocking than her heritage or her marriage: she was a scientist. And she knew a few secrets about the enemy. She had an idea that might help the country fight the Nazis...if anyone would listen to her.

A powerful novel based on the incredible true story of the glamour icon and scientist whose groundbreaking invention revolutionized modern communication, The Only Woman in the Room is a masterpiece.

Wish Everyone - Man & Woman Would Read This Book!

This book has SO many unexpected twists and turns, I sincerely wish this book would be made in to a major movie - it is that impactful. The writing is so easy to read and feel that you are transported into a time of being in the room during every moment. MUST read. As this is the second book that I have read by this author and LOVED, I am now tracking down all of her books for my collection to read and to KEEP (so that I can re-read them again at a later time). Bravo to this author and HUGE KUDOS to "The Only Woman in the Room". You will LOVE it!

This book kept me up all night! Loved it!

What a stunning book! The Only Woman in the Room is truly a masterpiece, Hedy Lamarr a fascinating enigma brought to life by Marie Benedict. I couldn’t put this book down!
