What Remains: A Memoir of Fate, Friendship and Love - Brossura

A memoir of fate, friendship and love...
On a clear summer night in July 1999, a small plane plunged into the Atlantic Ocean, carrying John Kennedy, his wife Carolyn Bessette and her sister Laura. Three weeks later, one week short of his fortieth birthday, John's cousin Anthony Radziwill died of cancer. In this extraordinarily moving and candid memoir, Carole Radziwill, Anthony's young widow and close friend of John and Carolyn, tells her story. It is the story of her life, born into a working class family in New York, how she met and fell in love with Anthony through their careers as television journalists, how she became part of America's most iconic family, how she nursed her husband through his desperate illness. How she was the one who had to call the Coast Guard to start the search for the missing plane.
A candid, intimate and compelling story of love, bereavement and, ultimately, resilience, What Remains explores the intricacies of marriage, the importance of friendship and the pain of living with unthinkable loss.
'What Remains is a riveting and heartbreaking journey beyond the fairy tale, told with the compassion of a friend and wife, and the searing eloquence of a gifted writer' Jeanette Walls, author of The Glass Castle
