Well, I had no idea about the assumed liaison between Eleanor and Lorena Hick. I knew about FDR's indiscretions, but not this. I think I liked the book, but I'm not sure. Here are the points I am pondering to help me decide.
First, I wasn't a fan of the writing. I guess it was very simplistic whenever there was dialogue. The sentences were very stagnant. I don't know if I'm explaining it correctly, but those are my opinions and I'm sticking with them.
Second, I liked the historical portion, learning about many of the people who were involved in the Roosevelt's lives, but some of the people in the book were not real. Very tricky for someone who doesn't know a whole lot about the subject and couldn't decide who was real and who wasn't.
Third, I guess I had a hard time trying to figure out what was current and what was reminiscing in the past. Maybe I was just overwhelmed or maybe it was the set up of the book. Can't decide.
So there you have it. Interesting book, but sometimes fairly confusing. Doesn't take a lot for me to be confused, though, so keep that in mind.
