Living History by Hillary Rodham Clinton

emotional informative inspiring reflective slow-paced

5.0

This book chronicles the life of Hillary Rodham Clinton from her youth all the way through the end of her husbands second term as President of the United States and her swearing in to the United States Senate.

Hillary has a way with her words of painting a vivid and incredibly descriptive picture that makes you feel like you are in the room for all the moments in her life and career. It does run a little long at times and she could’ve certainly condensed a few events that didn’t that much extra detail but I only felt that way a couple of times. Certainly not enough to detract from the book.

Reading this book twenty years after it was published is a bit of a weird experience. There’s a lot in Washington that has changed in the last 20-30 years but much of it hasn’t changed at all which is both comforting to know our system is still chugging along but also concerning that we haven’t made enough forward progress.
