Eleanor Roosevelt: Reluctant First Lady by Lorena A. Hickok

3.0

3.5 Stars.

This was very interesting and quite readable for a biographical report. I read this one with the alleged affair of Eleanor Roosevelt and the author, Lorena Hickok, in the back of my mind, which automatically made me look for signs of this rumoured relationship non-stop. I thought there were a couple of ambiguous scenes, but maybe that was just me interpreting to my liking. One point of critic for me is certainly the ending, which was very abrupt — the only warning I got was basically that I had run out of pages to read. Still a worthy read if you’re at all interested in Eleanor Roosevelt handling the beginning of her long First Ladyship.
