À propos de cet audio

 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.” Amitié Art et littérature Auteurs Divertissement et célébrités Femmes Relations Mariage Mémoires Aviation Célébrité Redevances New York Biographie

I rarely have as much time to read as I would like but when I tell you I could not stop listening to this book it’s an understatement. So wonderfully, beautifully written, and what a wonderful story, my heart breaks for the depths of a loss the author had to experience in such a short amount of time. But the light and love that comes through in her voice really shines above the tragedy.

Beautiful and heartbreaking

very depressing. c. radzwil's way of reading it is also very monotone and boring to listen to. I feel sorry for the things she went through but the book isnt an enjoyable read for me
