The Only Woman in the Room: A Novel
by Marie Benedict, 2019, Sourcebooks Landmark
This is a novel about Hedy Lamarr and how she came to invent a method to transmit directions to torpedoes in WWII.
I enjoyed reading this because it was written in the first person. In this way the author allows the reader to believe that the story is being told by Hedy Lamarr herself. It is actually all fiction, but it is believable.
The story ends abruptly, however, without any information regarding what happens to Hedy Lamarr in her later life. I believe the author owed it to the reader to provide an epilogue to the story. Also, the book was somewhat repetitious toward the end. It almost seemed as if it ran out of gas.
