Presidents' lives have always attracted my attention, whether it be Lincoln, Nixon, Jefferson, or in this case Kennedy. This book is special because it intertwines a fictional base with facts about the Kennedy family. It reveals alot about the personalities of all 9 Kennedy children and their parents and grandparents. Particularly, it focuses on the childhood and young adulthood of Kathleen "Kick" Kennedy and the oldest daughter Rosie. All is told from the perspective of a Kennedy nanny, Nora Brennen. While I can't say this book was spellbinding, thrilling, or hopeful, it was filled with dry humor and enlightenment of the Kennedy family. I definitely recommend reading it.
p.s. It kinda bothers me that Teddy is not in the photo on the cover. Why not choose a portrait taken once they had all been born?
