Om den här boken

A stunning, tragic memoir about John F. Kennedy Jr., his wife Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy, and his cousin Anthony Radziwill, by Radziwill’s widow.

What Remains is a vivid and haunting memoir about a girl from a working-class town who becomes an award-winning television producer and marries a prince, Anthony Radziwill. Carole grew up in a small suburb with a large, eccentric cast of characters. At nineteen, she struck out for New York City to find a different life. Her career at ABC News led her to the refugee camps of Cambodia, to a bunker in Tel Aviv, and to the scene of the Menendez murders. Her marriage led her into the old world of European nobility and the newer world of American aristocracy.

What Remains begins with loss and returns to loss. A small plane plunges into the ocean carrying John F. Kennedy Jr., Anthony’s cousin, and Carolyn Bessette Kennedy, Carole’s closest friend. Three weeks later Anthony dies of cancer. With unflinching honesty and a journalist’s keen eye, Carole Radziwill explores the enduring ties of family, the complexities of marriage, the importance of friendship, and the challenges of self-invention. Beautifully written, What Remains “gets at the essence of what matters,” wrote Oprah Winfrey. “Friendship, compassion, destiny.”

The most beautiful, intimate, and heartbreaking story I’ve ever read. I listened to it as well, and hearing Carole Radziwill read it feels like you’re inside her head as she lives through those years leading up to her husband’s expected death. And then, death strikes again from another corner – suddenly, completely unexpected and completely devastating. Words cannot describe how cruel. I’m inspired by her. Having gone through the worst imaginable, and then even worse, she still seems to hold onto an appreciation for life and seems as such a thoughtful, wonderful person. Many wouldn’t be able to come back from something like that. Maybe she is living for all four of them.

Den är både enkel men ändå vacker. Berättelsen är gripande, men inte alltför dramatisk. Ha inga förväntningar över att boken kommer att bli en "snyfthistoria", vilket kan verka som det. Författaren skriver hur hon agerar - självsäker och cool.
