White houses : a novel / Amy Bloom.

Bloom, Amy, 1953- (author.).

Summary:

--The Paris Wife--Advance praise for White Houses "Amy Bloom illuminates one of the most intriguing relationships in history. Lorena Hickok is a woman who found love with another lost soul, Eleanor Roosevelt. And love is what this book is all about: It suffuses every page, so that by the time you reach the end, you are simply stunned by the beauty of the world these two carved out for themselves."₇Melanie Benjamin, author of The Swans of Fifth Avenue
