- Summary:
- Keneally re-creates an extraordinary period in politics and society, where women were punished for violating mores that did not bind men. And Dan Sickles personifies the extremes of the era. A remarkable portrait of an unconventional, highly popular figure who "got away with it all, " this tale resonates with uncomfortable truths about American politics, ethics, and morality.
