Too Close to the Sun: Growing Up in the Shadow of my Grandparents, Franklin and Eleanor
- Guaranteed packaging
- No quibbles returns
Curtis Roosevelt was three when he and his sister, Eleanor, arrived at the White House soon after their grandfather's inauguration. The country's Â“First Grandchildren,â€ a pint-sized double act, they were known to the media as Â“Sistie and Buzzie.â€
In this rich memoir, Roosevelt brings us into Â“the goldfish bowl,â€ as his family called itÂ—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 historyÂ—and a thoughtful exploration of the emotional impact of growing up in their irresistible aura.
