Reviews

"Ellen Feldman blends history and fiction so skillfully that it's almost impossible to know where one ends and the other begins." -- Geoffrey Ward "Novels about the personal lives of public figures are tricky indeed, but Ellen Feldman pulls it off in her touching and sensitive re-imagination of the emotional entanglements of Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt and Lucy Mercer Rutherford." -- Arthur Schlesinger Jr. "Lucy Mercer Rutherford is a wonderful creation." -- New York Times Book Review
