Perfect for you if...

  • You're fascinated by how personal relationships drive historical events and want the intimate details behind the headlines.
  • You appreciate deeply researched narrative history that reads like a novel but rests on meticulous scholarship.
  • You want to understand how two people with competing visions and separate lives managed to lead a nation through its darkest hours.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer quick overviews or political summaries rather than 760 pages of intricate detail about one couple's life.
  • You're looking for a traditional presidential biography focused mainly on policy decisions and military strategy.
  • You find domestic tensions and personal drama a distraction from the 'real' historical events.

About this book

No Ordinary Time examines the relationship between Franklin D. Roosevelt and Eleanor Roosevelt and its influence on the nation during the Great Depression and the early years of World War II. The book draws on extensive historical details to trace multiple interconnected narratives: the Roosevelts' marriage and partnership, Eleanor's role as First Lady, and FDR's presidency and its effects on America and the wider world at war. Goodwin integrates these elements into an intimate portrait of both Eleanor and Franklin Roosevelt, capturing the period in which modern America took shape.
