About this item
'Take the incisive brilliance of Curtis Sittenfeld and add to it exquisite prose in the vein of Maggie O'Farrell and you have the novel Jackie. A truly astonishing to breathe new life into a woman everyone thinks they already know' NATASHA LESTER. The intimate life story of Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy, one of the world's most iconic women, told from the point of view of Jackie herself. If you loved Curtis Sittenfeld's American Wife and Rodham, you will devour Jackie. When Jackie meets charismatic congressman Jack Kennedy, she is twenty-one and dreaming of a life in Paris. She has won an internship at Vogue and thinks Kennedy is "Too American. Too good-looking". Yet, she is drawn to his mind, his humour, his drive and the chemistry between them is undeniable.
