Great insight into the Kennedy clan through the perspective of the women; this is considered THE "go to" book on the subject. For a less dense tome, see "The Kennedy Wives" which was released around 2012 or so which also includes an account of Vicky Reggie Kennedy, Ted's second wife, and does not include the Kennedy sisters per se.

Big book! I am about 1/3 through and am fascinated. Mr. Leamer is a wonderful writer and easy to read. I am from Massachusetts, Irish/Catholic and my family, like so many others there, thought/think the sun & moon rises and sets on the Kennedys. Well, they're only human and this book very respectfully describes that... wish there was a book about the Kennedy men, but I don't think the men would be so open and honest! I would definately recommend this book and am planning on sending it off to a sister who wants to read it as well!
I am from the Kennedy generation, I admired the kennedys, I have read tons of magazines,books,etc over the years. I was very sad when we lost Ted Kennedy and that started me being interested in the Kennedys again. I really like the book The Kennedy Women it is well written and holds your interest. I appreciate the photos and the history. I would recommend this book highly. I am going to read The Kennedy Men next.

This is one of my all time favorite books. I have it in paperback,held together with a rubberband.I just can't part with it. Now I have it in hardcover, so I can lend my paperback out & not worry about getting it back. Just so they don't throw it away, and pass it on to someone else who loves reading about the Kennedys as much as I do.
