Empty Without You: The Intimate Letters Of Eleanor Roosevelt and Lorena Hickok
reviewed on + 14 more book reviews


A really beautiful and heartbreaking set of letters between Eleanor Roosevelt and her lover Lorena Hickok. It covers the period that Eleanor was in the white house and she discusses some of the politics of the time with Lorena. There is also no doubt in my mind that the two women had an affair.
