Fascinating fictional account of the relationship between Eleanor Roosevelt and her secretary “Hick”. I knew about FDR’s extramarital affairs, but I didn’t know about Eleanor Roosevelt’s complex relationship with Hick. After reading this, I wondered how a marriage like that would survive in today’s frenzied media environment. The Roosevelts made an unusual situation work for them. Eleanor’s independence, intelligence, and her interest in the common good shine in this novel.
