The Matriarch/Susan Page/ 539pgs

This biography focused on former first lady Barbara Bush. Overall, it wasn't a bad read. I loved to read details that weren't particularly discussed openly like the rift between Nancy Reagan and Barbara. Also how Barbara got along better with the Khrushchevs than the Reagans did. The book mentions George h.w Bushs alleged affair and what Barbara thought about it.

It was a pretty good read. I think what drew me in was the fact that the author got to interview Barbara and read all her diary entries before she passed. So it wasn't guesswork on her life but Barbara actually discussing it.
