Bloom’s fourth novel is told from the point of view of Lorena Hickok and recounts her long relationship with Eleanor Roosevelt. Starting with Hickok’s unhappy childhood in Wisconsin, the narrative follows her escape from an abusive home, her struggle to finish school, and the job at the Minneapolis Tribune that turned her life around. By 1932, Hickok worked for the AP and was one of the country’s most prominent women journalists. She met Eleanor Roosevelt while covering FDR’s first presidential campaign and the two women soon became close. Bloom’s narrative, told with the mastery of period detail and skilled character development she used to powerful effect in Away and Lucky Us, gives us not just a historical novel, but an intimate glimpse of one of recent history’s most intriguing relationships.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
