This is not a standard biography, nor, thank goodness, another account of all the scandals. It is primarily a study of the Kennedy marriage, the assassination, and JBK’s struggle to overcome both experiences and to emerge a stronger woman, her own woman…..not an adjunct to a man….as a survivor. It begins tellingly with Jackie at 16 playing the demure, coquettish girl to a pompous older man (probably about 19) who is enlightening her about Petain and France, although she probably knew far more about the subject than he did. She is ready to step out into her adult world of high society but already knew that was not really the life she wanted. The first chapters of the book are about her early years as a deb, her boyfriends, and then her job at the Washington Herald, where she moved into an entirely different world and met JFK, as well as a couple of other men who were to influence her. The marriage is described in all its agony, humiliation, and heartbreak. There are details which I do not recall reading about previously: that two weeks after their “idyllic” honeymoon in Acapulco, JFK wanted her to return home while he stayed a couple of weeks more in California and home at that time was JFK’s small bedroom in his parents’ house. (Didn’t they make plans before the wedding????) There was also the Swedish blonde with whom JFK made plans to see during his life threatening operation spinal operation and the slow recuperation. He even told her and her family that he would divorce Jackie to marry her. All in all, this intelligent, charming charismatic leader comes across as goatish (Leaming’s word), thoughtless, unkind, and reprehensible.
