Edith Kermit Roosevelt: Portrait of a First Lady (Modern Library Paperbacks)
"Marvelously full-blooded, engagingly written."--Newsweek"An endlessly engrossing book, at once of historical and human importance... Morris's indefatigably busy camera catches everything that is catchable. The result is a narrative that one will want to return to and mull over, conscious of the hundred and one details that might have been missed the first time around, and with a reader's freedom to speculate that Morris admirably denies herself."--R.W.B. Lewis,The Washington Post"Morris excels at putting Edith in her place in charge of the First Family at a heady time in American history."--Newsweek"A splendid biography... One reads on, intrigued by the character that emerges."--Chicago Sun-Times"This biography represents craftsmanship of the highest order."--The Christian Science Monitor"A story as fascinating and well-written as a novel."--Worcester Telegram"A superb life story enchantingly told."--Richmond Times-Dispatch"A warmly vivid account of a refined, intelligent, and gracious lady and a contribution to the history of an era."--David H. Burton, St. Joseph's University
