Please join the Friends and Foundation of the Princeton Public Library on April 28th for our annual Book Lover’s Luncheon, featuring renowned author, historian, and journalist Lynne Olson. This year’s event will be held in the heart of Princeton at the Nassau Inn.
Lynne Olson is the New York Times bestselling author of Madame Fourcade’s Secret War, Last Hope Island, Those Angry Days, and Citizens of London. She has been a consulting historian for the National WWII Museum in New Orleans and the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C. Ms. Olson will be in conversation with Dr. Will Storrar, Director of the Center of Theological Inquiry, and will discuss her 2023 release Empress of the Nile (Feb 28). Empress of the Nile charts the extraordinary story of the intrepid French archaeologist who led the international effort to save ancient Egyptian temples from the floodwaters of the Aswan Dam. New York Times bestselling author Kati Marton describes the new release as a “tonic” and a “reminder that one unstoppable woman can bend history to her will.”
