Publisher Description
She was the definition of White House style for too brief a time. And as a private citizen, we couldn't seem to get enough of her. Here is the inside, outside, upside and downside of our own American princess. Tragic, heroic, private: the image of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis remains the image of an American icon that will never lose its ability to charm and fascinate.
Customer Reviews
Great Narrator
I came into this book already familiar with Jackie’s struggles in the Kennedy White House—the political pressures and the infidelity scandals. But where Jackie Oh! truly surprised me was in its coverage of her later years with Aristotle Onassis. I assumed this section would be boring, but instead, it turned out to be the book’s most compelling act. Kelley paints their marriage as a high-society drama of power, money, and quiet desperation—so intriguing that I finished the book wanting to dive deeper into Ari Onassis’s own notorious life.
Kelley’s reputation as a controversial biographer precedes her, but one thing’s undeniable: her research is exhaustive. Even when her interpretations feel pointed, the foundation is solid.
This audiobook is well organized with chapter breaks matching the book. The narrator is fantastic!
