Jan History Bk Club - "No Ordinary Time" by Doris Kearns Goodwin

In December, we return to American History. In looking over the books we've read in this group since it began in February 2017, I realized that we haven't read any of Doris Kearns Goodwin's works. How can that be?

Well, let's remedy that by turning to her Pulitzer winner from 1994, No Ordinary Time: Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt: The Home Front in World War II.

Here is what the publisher has to say about it:
"No Ordinary Time is a chronicle of one of the most vibrant & revolutionary periods in US history. With an extraordinary collection of details, Goodwin weaves together a number of story lines—the Roosevelt’s marriage & partnership, Eleanor’s life as First Lady, & FDR’s White House & its impact on America as well as on a world at war. Goodwin melds these into an intimate portrait of Eleanor & Franklin Roosevelt & of the time during which a new, modern America was born."

Please remember that this is, first and foremost, a book club. Like any local book club, the point is discussion about a shared experience - reading a book! It is not a lecture series. So as usual, get a copy of the book, read it and then join us for another interesting discussion. We continue to meet virtually because so many of our members now join us from locations outside the D.C area.

A zoom link to the discussion will be sent a day before the meeting.
