Helpful Score: 4

This was a very good book. We are all a bit curious about the lives of the Kennedys and this book was a very good one to read as there is nothing sensational about it. And it was written from the viewpoint of a 'commoner'. Radziwill married into our 'American royalty', in marrying John Kennedy's cousin. The behind the scenes glimpse into their friendship and Kennedy's final days is very interesting without making the reader feel he is intruding or prying. Radziwill is a very good writer. She writes very poignantly about her marriage and her husband's death. I was glad no one was home when I finished it, so that I could just let the tears flow. But it wasn't a depressing story - just a very moving one.
