White Houses

it was an interesting book but I felt it dragged in some spots. Not a bad book but also not a great book.

Good god. I came to this book knowing next to nothing about Eleanor Roosevelt beyond vague rumors that she was a lesbian. Now I want to find out everything I can about her and Hick. This is what historical fiction should be and do. Teach you about history but also have such vivid, beautiful characterizations that you can truly say “this is Bloom's Eleanor”. 

3.5 stars

Sketchy and unsatisfying, but it inspired me to read Eleanor and Hick, a non-fictional version of the relationship between Eleanor and “Hick” so there's that.
