Why read it?
1 author picked Kindred Souls as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I love this book because sometimes Eleanor Roosevelt seems like an unreachable icon, but this story by her friend Edna made me feel that “the First Lady of the World,” as Harry Truman labeled ER, was a real person with real feelings that I could relate to.
