Editorial Reviews

The subject is a comparison of the life and personality of Alice Roosevelt--daughter of Theodore Roosevelt--with that of Eleanor Roosevelt, who was his niece and the wife of Franklin D. Roosevelt. Unfortunately, the author begins each chapter with a fictionalized "event"--contrived dialogue that is supposed to convey some feeling for the characters under discussion. The non-fiction portions are chatty characterizations of events and personalities. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
