The Arrangements is a day in the life of this relatively unknown woman married to the infamous boorish man who became President of the USA. It’s probably what you expected but still worth the read.
Becoming surprised me with the scope it covered and the detail that it went into. It was a lovely window into the life of a public figure that I initally thought that I didn’t need to know more about. Thankfully I was proved wrong.
