Drury at his speediest!

A prequel of sorts to Advise and Consent, this book moves! What a treasure. Drury effectively develops his characters through their conversations, yet still gives us insight to their character through narration. I think all women may find a bit of themselves in Anna or Bess, as all men will be able to identify with one of the male characters in this book. He humanizes what in other books he satirizes (the leftist press). A definite read for Drury lovers, and a great place to start if you want to break into this wonderful author's books.
