You won't find a bad word about HRC in this book. As she said at one of her early job interviews, "I want to do whatever it takes to support her and help her succeed in whatever she does." Whether it was leaving a family wedding early or extremely long workdays that left little time for family, friends, let alone romance, Abedin's focus has been to help HRC succeed because she believes in Clinton and her work. Her respect and admiration for HRC are clear throughout the book. Still, her memoir is less about the "many worlds" she inhabits, and more about the one world that has dominated her life since her senior year of college: Hillaryland.įind a picture of Hillary Clinton - or HRC as she is mainly referred to in the book - and Abedin's usually nearby, whispering something in her ear, handing her papers, briefing her or standing somewhere in the wings watching. She didn't answer the stranger then, but this book is her answer. It makes it all the more jarring when she also describes an unwanted and unexpected kiss from an unnamed senator, or when a stranger comes up to Abedin in the NYC subway right after Clinton's 2016 loss to Donald Trump and asks her, "If you don't love this country, why don't you leave?" John McCain and Lindsey Graham, stayed at Buckingham Palace and celebrated the end of Eid at a White House Iftar dinner next to then President Obama. Except that her service, which spanned the White House, Senate and State Dept., put her in a rarefied circle. Many children of immigrants pursue public service (myself included) for the opportunity to serve the county that has offered so much opportunity to their families. And as her Abbu (father) told her, "You are an American and a Muslim." Her mother was Indian, her father was Pakistani. Born in Michigan, but raised in Saudi Arabia. The title pays homage to the multiple identities that define her.

With her memoir, Both/And: A Life in Many Worlds, Abedin lays out her story - the good and the bad. A gatekeeper to one of the most famous women in the world, Hillary Clinton, and formerly married to disgraced Congressman Anthony Weiner, Abedin has often been seen in public, but rarely heard from. For more than two decades, Huma Abedin has been in the background.
