It doesn't see that long ago that I read this. But I haven't found a review in my Goodreads.com folder, so it must have been prior to my Goodreads.com membership era. I was reminded of the book because it is the featured review on my PageADay Book Lover's Calendar for today. Below is the review from the calendar:
____________
American heroes such as Franklin Delano Roosevelt can be so lionized that they cease to resemble living, fallible human beings. Doris Kearns Goodwin doesn’t make that mistake in this incisive portrait of an unlikely marriage conducted on the stage of world politics. The degree to which FDR was willing to compromise, and Eleanor most emphatically was not, is especially enlightening.
NO ORDINARY TIME: FRANKLIN AND ELEANOR ROOSEVELT: THE HOME FRONT IN WORLD WAR II, by Doris Kearns Goodwin (1994; Touchstone, 1995)
