This fictionalized story of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis is beautifully written, with a rhythmical tone that shares so many horrible events in the former First Lady’s life in almost a soft way. Her life story in the 1960s is closely intertwined with American history, and we follow Jackie through the courtship and marriage to John F. Kennedy, her time as First Lady, and the President’s support of the Civil Rights Movement. We watch in horror as John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King, and Robert Kennedy are killed.. Then we watch Jackie strike out on her own and emerge from the shadow of the Kennedy family, rebuilding her life in her own way.
This book is fiction, but combines historical facts with fiction in a believable way. The writing is so eloquent and includes Jackie’s love of books and poetry. It is an enjoyable read about a tumultuous time and a woman who weathered many storms. Highly Recommend.
I received a free copy of this book from the publishers via Netgalley. My review is voluntary and the opinions expressed are my own.
