Jackie by Dawn Tripp
4.0
I really enjoyed this intimate look at the life of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis from the point of her dating John F. Kennedy until her death.
“In the white space, the margins, and the gaps, that’s where life dwells.”
In this historical fiction novel, the author committed to capturing Jackie’s spirit by sharing her thoughts, conversation, and voice. The result is a realistic view of what Jackie experienced and what was important to her. Some interstitial chapters from John F. Kennedy’s perspective provide additional context about his relationship with Jackie. The book explores love, family, tragedy, and reinvention. I found it engaging, very interesting and thought provoking.
I highly recommend Jackie to those who enjoy a unique perspective on historical figures.
