Join us for an afternoon with Elizabeth Letts & Melanie Benjamin, New York Times bestselling authors as they share their new historical fiction novels, FALLEN FOR FRANCE and THE WINDSOR AFFAIR.

Elizabeth Letts, author of FINDING DOROTHY will introduce her new book FALLEN FOR FRANCE. A novel about what history forgets — and what, against all odds, endures. Elizabeth Letts is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of both historical fiction and non-fiction. #1 New York Times Bestseller The Eighty-Dollar Champion was a 2011 Indie Next Pick, a Goodreads Reader’s Choice Finalist and winner of the 2012 Daniel P Lenehan Award for Media Excellence from the United States Equestrian Foundation and is currently in development as a feature film at MGM Studios.

Melanie Benjamin is the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of nine historical novels. Her newest novel, THE WINDSOR AFFAIR (Delacorte/Penguin Random House, June 2026), tells the story of the Abdication crisis and World War II through the bitter rivalry between Wallis Simpson and Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon. Previous novels include THE SWANS OF FITH AVENUE (a LibraryReads Top Ten pick), THE AVIATOR'S WIFE, MISTRISS OF THE RITZ, and THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF MRS. TOM THUMB. Her books have been translated into more than fifteen languages, featured in The New York Times, People, Entertainment Weekly, Good Housekeeping, and on NPR, and optioned for film and television.

Books will be available for purchase and signed by the authors.

About the Branch

The original 32,000 sq. ft Peninsula Center Library built in 1967 was designed by pioneers in “green” design, A. Quincy Jones and Frederick E. Emmons.  With vertical wood louvers to control sunlight, the original steel and reinforced concrete building also included coffered slab ceilings with recessed lighting, glass walls, and local Palos Verdes stone and white columns.  All furnishings were contemporary with many pieces designed by Jones and Emmons specifically for the Library.

In 1995, architects Zimmer, Gunsul, and Fransca (ZGF) renovated and expanded the space, nearly doubling its size.  Using the existing concrete-frame building, the building maintains the original entrance on Deep Valley and added the new entrance on Silver Spur.  The building also features major public artworks such as the Stellar Axis by Lita Albuquerque, the bronze cheetahs with the stone column by Gwynn Murrill, and the Light in the Forest mural by Myrna Shiras which are integral parts of the building.
