Barbara Leaming - Kennedy özvegye - A world legkülönösebb and leginkább félreértett nőalakja soha nem látott megvilágításban

Jackie Kennedy seems to have been made a celebrity by fate. She was beautiful and talented, came from a good family, and attended excellent schools. From birth, he had the desire and ambition to stand out from the crowd. Perhaps because she felt the wind of the new times, she was reluctant to marry a boy of her status as a matter of course after college. Even as an American, he winked at Europe. He is firmly determined on one thing: what he does must not be boring and average. He achieved this goal. She married the great promise of postwar America, the charming and wealthy senatorial and then presidential candidate John F. Kennedy. Jack and Jackie: they became the dream couple of the sixties, they ticked off even Hollywood movie stars and rock stars.

They paid a terrible price for it. Behind the style icon's front-page smile was a network of compromise, pain, loneliness and interests. He buried two newborn children. She survived the death of her husband, she survived the death of the myth of the two, she survived the fact that instead of the cherished role of the nation's widow, she took on the role of the wife of the billionaire Greek shipping tycoon, as well as the role of the traitor. For three decades, he fled from the falsities of the constructed life, the memories of the ruined myths, and his own fears. Into alcohol, neurosis, bad and even worse relationships.
Barbara Leaming's biographical volume portrays one of the most important side characters of the twentieth century accurately, authentically, but from an unusual psychological perspective. The life of Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis has been weighed, examined and written about countless times, but only this new portrait makes us understand who this exceptional woman really was.
"Leaming explores Jackie Kennedy's life from a fresh and unusual perspective. Kennedy's Widow is a depressing, yet relatable, moving read."
