Description

AFTER CAMELOT picks up where JACKIE, ETHEL, JOAN left off, as we follow these three Kennedy women as they continue their lives as high-profile, single women raising their children.This book spotlights the Kennedy sisters - Pat, Eunice and Jean - and, most importantly, focuses on the next generation of Kennedys, since it has fallen upon that fourth generation to fulfill many of the dreams of the third. And, finally, Taraborlli brings into clear focus the complex and intriguing story of Ted Kennedy, the family's patriarch, and how he has influenced that next generation's sensibilities.

Capturing the wealth, glamour and prestige for which the Kennedys are so well-known, as well as their darker side,Taraborrelli takes the reader on an epic and sweeping journey as he becomes intimately familiar with the members of, arguably, the nation's most famous - and controversial - family.

"An absorbing history of a remarkable family."--The Columbus Dispatch
"Taraborrelli keeps readers deeply engaged with a comfortable, almost novelistic style...Taraborrelli shows what makes the Kennedy legacy so enduring. His book, not aimed at academics, will appeal both to those long fascinated with the Kennedys and those new to following them, as well as readers more generally interested in American political and social history over these years."--Library Journal
"Meticulous multilayered details breathe life into remarkable recreations of family gatherings throughout this superb "fly on the wall" survey of the Camelot clan."--Publishers Weekly (starred review)
