Synopsis

Daisy Chain is the fictionalised story of Daisy Suckley, the real-life cousin of President FDR who became his secret wife. It's the Great Depression. The world is tilting towards war. In the White House, nothing is as it seems. Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the married president of the United States, has started a long and passionate affair with his cousin Daisy, and moves her into the West Wing. Daisy is one of FDR's band of unconventional women: Eleanor Roosevelt, the fiery labour organiser, Frances Perkins, the first female Secretary of Labour, and his secretary Missy LeHand, a political operative in her own right. Middle-aged spinster Daisy becomes FDR's secret wife. That's not her only secret. This fictional biography written by a family member who knew Daisy is the untold true story of a hidden love and hidden contributions, and of a presidency that benefitted from both.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Born in New York, Manhattan Island, Justine Gilbert moved to London with her parents when she was six. She returned to the USA for regular visits, some of which involved seeing her grandmother’s Cousin Daisy, who lived in Wilderstein on the Hudson River. Her award-winning debut novel, Daisy Chain, is the fictionalised story of Daisy Suckley's affair with FDR and the complicated web of women who surrounded and influenced him. The author has used some conventional research, but she also included previously unknown family secrets.
