The Kennedy Wives is a biographical book about the five Kennedy women that were married to Joe, Jack, Bobby and Edward Kennedy. Every woman gets her own chapter and in the chapters, their lives are described from their childhood to how they met their husband and how their lives turned out. For me, this book didn't really contain much of new information when with it come to Ethel, Jackie or Joan since I have read Taraborrelli's [b:Jackie Ethel Joan Women of Camelot|690438|Jackie, Ethel, Joan Women of Camelot|J. Randy Taraborrelli|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1344270112s/690438.jpg|676785]. I have also read part of Rose Kennedy's autobiography (that I own and must finish some day) so I knew much about her also. Vicki Kennedy, however, was a woman I hadn't read so much about and her relationship with Ted Kennedy actually made me soften up a bit to him. Ted Kennedy has never really been a Kennedy that I cared so much about. For me, it has always been Bobby and Jack. Well, mostly Bobby. This book put the wives in focus, sure they are mostly known for their roles as wives, but I think it is nice to read about them, about what made them tick, and their influence on their husbands and the tragedies they suffered in their lives. I think Amber Hurst and David Batcher has done a really good work, this book is informative and it never gets boring reading it. I admit that I didn't think the chapters about Joan and Vicki would interest me so much, but they were just as interesting to read as the other wives chapters. A great book for people that are interested in the Kennedys or for those who want to know more about Rose, Ethel, Jackie, Joan and Vicki Kennedy! Thank you Netgalley for providing me with a free copy for an honest review! Loved it. Really interesting and so well written that it reads like fiction. With that I mean that it's easy to read and flows well, but also that the Kennedy family's lives are like fiction. Full of larger than life characters, this book focuses on 5 of the wives. I haven't read much about any of them, so for me this was a treasure trove of information. Those women are were/are pretty amazing and lived through so many roller coasters. Loved it.

HTML: The Kennedys endure as American icons because of the mix between power and vulnerability that so many of them embodied. Our fascination and connection to them comes most strongly through the wives, whose pain, heartbreak, and grief seemed immensely public and lonely and personal at the same time. The Tragic Lives of the Kennedy Wives examines five of the Kennedy matriarchs: Rose, Jackie, Ethel, Joan, and Vicki through the lens of their marriages, their religion, their families, their activism and most of all, their tragedies. An important and fascinating exploration into the side of Camelot that was never quite kept from the public eye. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
