Empty Without You: The Intimate Letters of Eleanor Roosevelt and Lorena Hickok by Lorena a. Hickok, Eleanor Roosevelt

3.0

The narrative surrounding these two women is so interesting, and Streitmatter does a wonderful job of providing the context and information needed to read the letters like a story. That said, the First Lady wrote odd diary-style letters simply detailing her days and the majority of the letters in this book are hers, which makes for some slightly dull and incredibly monotonous reading in sections. As the war came on and their relationship strained, the book (and letters) became much more interesting.
