From the Stacks to the Page: Elizabeth Letts on Writing Fallen for France

Join us for an enchanting evening with #1 New York Times bestselling author and former NSLM John H. Daniels Fellowship recipient Elizabeth Letts as she shares the remarkable journey behind her latest novel, Fallen for France—a story born not from imagination alone, but from the very shelves of our Library's collection. Letts will take us behind the scenes of her creative process, revealing how materials she discovered in the NSLM sparked the research, inspiration, and vision that would ultimately shape Fallen for France into a full-blown novel. It is a testament to the hidden stories waiting to be uncovered in every archive, document, and artifact our Library holds.

Following the discussion, guests are invited to ask questions during an open Q&A session—a rare opportunity to engage directly with her on craft, research, and the magic of finding a story where you least expect it. The evening concludes with a book signing, so bring your copy of Fallen for France or purchase one on-site. This is an evening not to be missed.
