Welcome to Litsy!

Leaming‘s stress on Jackie's PTSD was illuminating at first, but was repeated so often it got gimmicky, but I liked the emphasis on Jackie's forties & onward, when she was a conservationist who saved NYC's Grand Central Railway when it was threatened with destruction and saw through notable books in her editor role. These kinds of details make it valuable overall, since it is, admittedly, a well-trodden story that is difficult to make fresh.

This was a really well told biography that focused on Jacqueline and her life. She has a very interesting history and I don't think she should ever be defined by her marriage to JFK.

This book... I liked it because the story was really about her. What was life like before and after JFK? It looked at her as a person and worked to answer some really interesting questions about her. I was engaged the entire time.

I adore Jackie. This book portrayed her as a survivor. After both her marriages, she went on to have a successful career of her own when she really didn't need to.

Not sure about this book yet but I thought it would be interesting to read at the same time as Cleopatra.
