"An American Politician: A Novel" by F. Marion Crawford is a story within a story. On the surface level, the tale is a gripping political drama about the ins and outs of life in the American Political system, where behind-the-scenes deals and tense meetings are commonplace. However, among all the trials and tribulations that come with politics, love is still able to blossom. Romance can come out of such, at times, cold, environments.
