An engrossing debut novel that cannily reimagines the extraordinary life and mysterious death of bohemian Georgetown socialite Mary Pinchot Meyer-- secret lover of JFK, ex-wife of a CIA chief, sexual adventurer, LSD explorer and early feminist living by her own rules. She was a longtime lover of JFK. She was the ex-wife of a CIA chief. She was the sister-in-law of the Washington Post's Ben Bradlee. She believed in mind expansion and took LSD with Timothy Leary. She was a painter, a socialite and a Bohemian in Georgetown during the Cold War. And she ended up dead in an unsolved murder a year after JFK's assassination. The diary she kept was never found. Until now. . . . No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

Why am I not surprised I have never heard of Mary Pinchot, I don't think it is because I was born in 1959 so I was young when Kennedy was shot but we never hear about the women behind great men. This is a terrific and intriguing book and is about the relationship between Mary and Jack from their first encounter to their last.
Mary is a woman, not ahead of her time because I believe there were many women like her but she was a woman who had the guts to be her own woman.
The author portrays her, as best he can because she was, as she had to be, a private person specifically in regards to her relationship (I won't use the word affair because it was much more than that) with Jack Kennedy.
I believe that Jack did confide in Mary and that he did love her like no other.
A must read and I am grateful for the opportunity to have had the opportunity to read and share my opinions with others. (
