Eleanor And Hick by Susan Quinn
In 1932, as her husband assumed the presidency, Eleanor Roosevelt entered the claustrophobic, duty-bound existence of the First Lady with dread. A lifeline came to her in the form of a feisty campaign reporter for the Associated Press: Lorena Hickok. Over the next 30 years, until Eleanor's death, the two women carried on an extraordinary relationship. They were, at different points, lovers, confidantes, professional advisors and caring friends. This is their story, told with warmth and charm. An important and utterly fascinating book.Susan Quinn is the author of several books, including Fiery Improvisation: How the WPA and a Cast of Thousands Created High Art Out of Dire Times and Marie Curie: A Life. Her writing has featured in magazines such as The New York Times Magazine, the Atlantic, and others. She resides outside of Boston, Massachusetts, and is the former president of PEN New England.
