Very good. Connecting readers with great books since 1972! Used books may not include companion materials, and may have some shelf wear or limited writing. We ship orders daily and Customer Service is our top priority!
Outstanding research means author weaves details, quotations, letters, world events into a biography that was hard to put down and harder to see concluded. I wish all biographers wrote this well. I will buy more books about Edith and Theodore Roosevelt.

amazingly readable
This biography of Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt is a delight from the first page to the end because I suspect this would also describe Edith Kermit Roosevelt herself. The author invites us inside the life of the Roosevelts in April 1865. Theodore is six and is watching Abraham Lincoln's funeral procession from his grandfather's New York City mansion. Also present is Edith Kermit Carow,a friend, who is four. Theirs was a lifelong relationship punctuated by Theodore's first marriage to Alice Hathaway Lee, mother of Alice Roosevelt (later Longworth). The first Mrs. Roosevelt died two days after the birth of her only child.In this engaging biography Sylvia Jukes Morris introduces us to, not only Edith, but to other Roosevelt family members which include Eleanor and Franklin. We are allowed to peek into the lives of this extraordinary family who produced two US presidents who were on opposite sides of the political fence.Of course there was rivalry but there was a family grace which prevented dreadful confrontations. Edith Kermit Roosevelt epitomized that grace. Mrs. Morris has beautifully articulated the charm, intellect, emotion and plain good sense of this intriguing First Lady. It is an enormous pleasure to read.
