Bestselling author C.W. Gortner will present a fascinating look at two heroines in his historical novels: fashion designer Coco Chanel and movie star Marlene Dietrich. His presentation will look at how the women reacted to changing mores of their times, the pursuit and price of fame, and their individual reactions to the perils of World War II. This free program is sponsored by the Walnut Creek Library Foundation. RSVPs are appreciated and can be made online at www.wclibrary.org/live or by telephone at (925) 935-5395.
