’Weaving fiction with fact, Bond’s fascinating insight into the life of the First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt makes for riveting reading.’ Culture StreetWill a chance encounter change her life forever? Against the backdrop of the Great Depression, Pearl Harbour and World War II, a young woman tastes power and passion in the world’s highest office. Robbed of her home and job by the Great Depression, the future looks bleak for Iris Macintosh - until a chance encounter with America’s spirited First Lady, Eleanor Roosevelt. Propelled by Eleanor into the brilliant inner circle of the White House, Iris finds herself at the centre of momentous change ... and her heart torn between two men. But her loyalty lies with a third: the complicated and charismatic President Roosevelt, who will ultimately force her to question everything she believes in.  While the world is in turmoil, one woman’s life is transformed.  A compelling story of politics and power, love and loss, set in one of the most exciting and cataclysmic periods of history.’A Day in May is not only a fabulous portrayal of life in the White House in the 1930s and 40s but also an amazing story of a woman who hits the very bottom but takes an opportunity to rise to the top.’ 1girl2manybooks
