In this rich memoir, Roosevelt brings us into “the goldfish bowl,” as his family called it — that glare of public scrutiny to which all presidential households must submit. He recounts his misadventures as a hapless kid in an unforgivably formal setting and describes his role as a tiny planet circling the dual suns of Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt.
Blending self-abasement, humor, awe and affection, Too Close to the Sun is an intimate portrait of two of the most influential and inspirational figures in modern American history — and a thoughtful exploration of the emotional impact of growing up in their irresistible aura.
