Negative Positive
Title: A disappointment
Review: Despite lengthy notes and a huge bibliography, there is little new in this book about either Jackie or her mother, Janet Auchincloss. It is also hard to believe that a book so supposedly well researched is so badly written. There is no insight into the mother-daughter relationship - and only a sprinkling of new information about either of them. It would have been very interesting to read about Jackie's half-siblings - Janet Jr., who she loved and Jamie, who she did not. Jamie was even barred from her funeral until he protested. Why? No explanation is given. Also nothing new in the area of the whole Jackie-Lee Radziwill dynamic, which also would have been a new and welcome area to explore. Again, nothing new. Disappointing overall.
