Reading progress update: I've read 76 out of 432 pages.
This is proving a really interesting reading experience. From what I read, Sittenfeld's account of Hillary Rodham's life prior to her acceptance of Bill Clinton's marriage proposal is factually-based, so I'm reading those chapters as a historical novel. Yet I can't help but wonder: how much of it did she make up? Did she take conversations wholesale from memoirs or did she extrapolate from her biography? It's an exercise that is equal parts engaging and exasperating, as to parse it successfully requires knowing more about Hillary Rodham Clinton's early years than I do now.
