Summary

Explore the fascinating life of Jackie Kennedy!

Without a doubt, the name Jacqueline Kennedy draws multiple thoughts to mind. She is, perhaps, most well-known for her service as the first lady of the United States when her husband, John F. Kennedy, took office as the president, and for her role in restoring the White House. Then, of course, other people remember Jackie for her role in the fashion industry, particularly her pink Chanel suit and matching pillbox hat, which became symbols of her husband's assassination. Jackie is so renowned and beloved that she ranks as one of the most popular first ladies. In fact, Jacqueline was named, in 1999, in Gallup's list of Most Admired Men and Women in 20th century America. While she made major impacts on the White House, Jackie was much more than her title of first lady.

Fascinating biography of the former First Lady. I learned a lot, which surprised me, because I thought I'd already read everything I could read about her! A very sympathetic, heart wrenching book. Highly recommend to anyone who loves history and/or has an interest in the Kennedy era.

This is quite fascinating.,

Had a chance to take an in depth look at this public figure as she lived through her private hell. Before reading this book I regarded Mrs Kennedy as someone that had been touched by tragedy but remained somewhat removed it, now I realize how little I knew her.

Good.

Excellent book with a ton of information that you don't get from other biographies about Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis. I was most interested in listening to it and I was not disappointed. She was an amazing, stoic woman that we never really understood. This book makes her a bit more understandable. I enjoyed listening to it and learning more about this First Lady. If you are a fan, then this would be a very good book to purchase and listen to.

This is excellent!

Wondered about many things after the President's killing. Was surprised at the fear Mrs. Kennedy had for herself and her children.

The book answered many questions I had.

Very informative.
