> if you had to ask a question of either one of them about personal relationships that they had with other people, who would you be most interested in? > ms. that was the part that was new and fun for me. so, what i came upon was a sense that the second family quarters of the white house were really like a residential hotel during these years, and there's about seven people living there, all of whom are intimate friends of either franklin or eleanor's.
and i came to an understanding that these two characters really both needed other people to meet the untended needs that were left over as a result of their troubled marriage. goodwin: well, i think what i wanted to do in this book was to understand not only franklin and eleanor's relationship-which has been looked at in many, many other cases-but to understand the whole extended family that surrounded them in the white house.
