Eleanor and Hick: The Love Affair That Shaped a First Lady by Susan Quinn

4.0

Quinn provides an honest account of Eleanor Roosevelt's relationship with Lorena Hickok, based heavily on letters between the two. It is long and, told chronologically, sometimes drags. But the story of FDR's political and personal life is important, and sometimes the details are crucial (especially when ER is closely involved). Eleanor and Hick balances the two perfectly. I'm a relative ER noob and I think this was a great introduction.
