Absolutely exquisite book. I picked it up because I want to go to an event next month where this author and two others will be speaking. I learned a tremendous amount about JFK’s life from reading this, things I probably should have known but sadly didn’t. Jackie’s (fictional) perspective is emotionally riveting. It’s a long book but well worth the read.
