The House of Kennedy

Product Information

Not a first rate biography of the Kennedy House, but an informative survey of the family's ill-fated history. I was the only black girl making white girl money,” she boasts, telling a vibrant story about sex and struggle in a bygone era. Throughout her account of this kooky, messed-up, enviable, and often thrilling life, her humility (her sons "are true miracles, considering the gene pool") never fails her. Patterson and Fagen skip by the matter, though their book is chock full of other salacious and lurid moments. Her presence and devotion to JFK privately and publicly was a driving force to his success and ultimately the presidency.

The central conceit of the book is that there really is something to what Ted Kennedy once wondered aloud—whether “a curse actually did hang over all the Kennedys,” à la the House of Atreus. The assassination of President Kennedy happened a good few years before I was born but I grew up with the conspiracy theories surrounding his death and have seen documentaries, read books, and sat through the movie JFK. I avoided this book for as long as I did because I knew it would be hard to hear in vivid detail all the losses, scandals, illnesses, addictions and hardships that plagued this iconic family.
