THE LOVES OF THEODORE ROOSEVELT The Women Who Created a President

Listeners should not expect risqué revelations about White House liaisons. The titular loves of Theodore Roosevelt are his mother, two wives, and two sisters. These five women were instrumental in creating the man who would become one of our most popular presidents. Author and narrator Edward F. O'Keefe tells listeners about these exceptional women who were reliable advisors, shrewd strategists, and unswervingly loyal supporters. O'Keefe narrates his own well-researched book in a smooth, genial broadcaster's voice. He personifies T.R. precisely--his passion, high pitch, and intensity. Other speakers prove more difficult to portray. This biography includes love letters and other correspondence that are new and revealing. It is a worthy addition to the many biographies of this riveting American. D.L.G. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine [Published: AUGUST 2024]
