Praise For This Book


"Amy Bloom brings an untold slice of history so dazzlingly and devastatingly to life, it took my breath away."-Paula McLain, author of The Paris Wife

"A novel of the secret, scandalous love of Eleanor Roosevelt and her longtime friend and companion Lorena Hickok, who relates the tale in her own, quite wonderful voice."-Joyce Carol Oates

"Lorena Hickok is a woman who found love with another lost soul, Eleanor Roosevelt. And love is what this book is all about: It suffuses every page, so that by the time you reach the end, you are simply stunned by the beauty of the world these two carved out for themselves."-Melanie Benjamin, author of The Swans of Fifth Avenue*
