PRAISE FOR ELEANOR AND FRANKLIN
“The intimate chronicle of a woman and a marriage. The woman was Eleanor Roosevelt, and her marriage to Franklin D. Roosevelt—with its painful secrets and public triumphs—played a vital role not only in the lives of these two extraordinary human beings but in the lives of all humanity. Here is one of the great and moving stories of our time—a masterpiece of vivid evocation and sympathetic understanding. ‘Monumental.’ ”
—New York Times
“WHOLLY ABSORBING AND RICHLY DOCUMENTED. . . . Eleanor Roosevelt’s major burdens as a woman were two: the first was Sara Delano Roosevelt, her mother-in-law, oppressor, tyrant, self-appointed possessor of her son Franklin and every thing and person close to him. The other was Eleanor’s burden of anguish born through Franklin’s love affair with Lucy Mercer, whom Eleanor had employed as a social secretary.”
—Marya Mannes, The Atlantic
“AN EXCEPTIONALLY CANDID, EXHAUSTIVE . . . HEARTRENDING BOOK. . . . The highest praise one can pay Mr. Lash is that he has proved worthy in every particular of an immense and chancy undertaking.”
—Brendan Gill, The New Yorker
“A STUNNING, MAGNIFICENT ACHIEVEMENT—that combination of scholarship and narrative drive which is so rare. I had thought I understood Eleanor Roosevelt. Now I know how little I knew.”
—William Manchester
“EXTRAORDINARY . . . a unique American drama!”
—William Hogan, San Francisco Chronicle
“A MARVELOUS BOOK.”
—Donald Meyer, The New Republic
