Description:

Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis, a name synonymous with glamour, style and 20th century history. Beginning with JFK’s assassination in 1963 and encompassing her marriage to Ari Onassis and later work as an editor in New York, this is a thoughtful first-person account of a remarkable life. Marriage, motherhood, all those famous mid-century celebrities, even the Cuban Missile Crisis, it’s all here in this eloquent and sensitively written story of the enigmatic woman and iconic public figure.
