Jackie Her transformation from first lady to Jackie O

Paul Brandus

Book - 2020

"When we think of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, we often do so through the lens of her two marriages. One ended suddenly, on a sunny, curving Texas street in 1963; the other began five years later, on a rainy day on an island off the coast of Greece. This book zeros in on the colorful, adventurous, but also painful period bookended by those marriages and those men; a period when she was alone and adjusting, struggling but also emerging, chrysalis-like, into a new woman--arguably, and without her consent or desire, the most famous woman in the world"--Jacket.
