Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

'Irresistibly readable, fascinating material - Amy Bloom has written a remarkably intimate and yet informative novel of the (secret/scandalous) love of Eleanor Roosevelt and her longtime friend and companion Lorena Hickok, who relates the tale in her own, quite wonderful voice' Joyce Carol Oates

'White Houses demonstrates that real people are far more fascinating than icons. But in the hands of a master storyteller, the combination is dazzling' Lionel Shriver

'A tender, heart-warming exploration of a hidden but profound love...[Bloom] takes the historical moment and opens it up, prising it apart to let in the light' ----Irish Times

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 to the centre of privilege and power. Filled with fascinating back-room politics, the secrets and scandals of the era, and exploring the potency of enduring love, it is an imaginative tour-de-force from a writer of extraordinary and exuberant talent.
