Reseña del editor:

?In 1933, President Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt took up residence in the White House. With them went the celebrated journalist Lorena Hickok ― Hick to friends ― a straight-talking reporter from South Dakota, whose passionate relationship with the idealistic, patrician First Lady would shape the rest of their lives. Told by the indomitable Hick, White Houses is the story of Eleanor and Hick's hidden love, and of Hick's unlikely journey from her dirt-poor childhood, abusive father and stint in the circus to the centre of privilege and power. Party to all the secrets of the White House, tested by political events and personal struggles, she never loses sight of her true allegiance. Filled with fascinating back-room politics and the secrets and scandals of the era, and exploring the potency of enduring love, White Houses is an imaginative tour de force from a writer of extraordinary and exuberant talent.
