"Do you know what the secret to happily-ever-after is?" Janet Bouvier Auchincloss would ask her daughters Jackie and Lee during their tea time. "Money and Power," she would say. It was a lesson neither would ever forget. They followed in their mother's footsteps after her marriages to the philandering socialite "Black Jack" Bouvier and the fabulously rich Standard Oil heir Hugh D. Auchincloss. Jacqueline Bouvier would marry John F. Kennedy and the story of their marriage is legendary, as is the story of her second marriage to Greek shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis. Less well known is the story of her love affair with a world renowned architect and a British peer. Her sister, Lee, had liaisons with one and possibly both of Jackie's husbands, in addition to her own three marriages--to an illegitimate royal, a Polish prince and a Hollywood director. If the Bouvier women personified beauty, style and fashion, it was their lust for money and status that drove them to seek out powerful men, no matter what the cost to themselves or to those they stepped on in their ruthless climb to the top. Based on hundreds of new interviews with friends and family of the Bouviers, among them their own half-brother, as well as letters and journals, J. Randy Taraborrelli paints an extraordinary psychological portrait of two famous sisters and their ferociously ambitious mother.… (més)

I hadn’t read one of these “tell all” biographies by Randy Taraborrelli before. It was great escapist fare loaded with brilliantly researched behind the scenes stories that will have you gasping. Randy surely knows how to pull the reader into this world of politics, infidelity and class. The competitiveness between sisters Jackie and Lee is mind blowing. Who knew that Lee had an affair with Aristotle Onnasis before Jackie married him? The book documents the PTSD that Jackie suffered from after the assassination. The ambiguous sexuality of Lee’s first husband and Herbert Ross is explored. Despite the mother and daughter issues surrounding money, marriage and love you develop a sympathy for them.

With a subtitle like "The Other Side of Camelot," this book was about what you'd expect. It was written with the cooperation of James Auchincloss, which should have tipped me off right away that it was all about the sleeze. He should be ashamed. Plus, the book was poorly written and constructed like a 9-th grade geography book: Parts rather than Chapters, and 14-point font breaks with a summary of the next five paragraphs: "A Mother's Duty," "Lee's Conflict," "Emergency Family Meeting," etc. Because we're too stupid not to figure it all out. If there was a minus rating, I'd give this a minus 5. ( )

A very gossipy account of the life of Janet Auchincloss and her famous daughters, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and Lee Radizwill. For me, the beginning of the book didn't seem to flow chronologically. The end of the book was sort of abruptly cut off. Jackie's final illness brought about the conclusion of the book with barely a few sentences mentioning Lee's life from 1994 to 2018. That's twenty-four years of living reduced to a paragraph. The book did draw heavily on the memories of Janet's son and Jackie and Lee's half-brother, Jamie Auchincloss. Of particular interest in this book was Janet's relationship with her third husband, Bingham Morris, of which I did not know anything. Another thing I disliked about the book was there was hardly anything about Janet's childhood, which certainly shaped her. An incomplete, yet absorbing book. ( )

This is not fine literature nor yet is it in the High Art Literary Tradition. Taraborrelli has now used up his lifetime supply of exclamation points and in general the book does honestly read like a 460-page People magazine article. But it's awfully absorbing and I absolutely did gobble it up. (And I may have even gotten a little teary when reading about Jackie's devotion to her sister Janet, who died from cancer when she was just 39.) My only regret is that I did not learn more about Jackie's relationship with Maurice Tempelsman. ( )

"Do you know what the secret to happily-ever-after is?" Janet Bouvier Auchincloss would ask her daughters Jackie and Lee during their tea time. "Money and Power," she would say. It was a lesson neither would ever forget. They followed in their mother's footsteps after her marriages to the philandering socialite "Black Jack" Bouvier and the fabulously rich Standard Oil heir Hugh D. Auchincloss. Jacqueline Bouvier would marry John F. Kennedy and the story of their marriage is legendary, as is the story of her second marriage to Greek shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis.

Her sister, Lee, had liaisons with one and possibly both of Jackie's husbands, in addition to her own three marriages--to an illegitimate royal, a Polish prince and a Hollywood director. If the Bouvier women personified beauty, style and fashion, it was their lust for money and status that drove them to seek out powerful men, no matter what the cost to themselves or to those they stepped on in their ruthless climb to the top. Based on hundreds of new interviews with friends and family of the Bouviers, among them their own half-brother, as well as letters and journals, J.
