The Fabulous Bouvier Sisters by Sam Kashner
4.0
This is a strong undertaking to examine the lives and loves and wealth amassing of the sisters Jackie and Lee - father was Bouvier and stepfather was Auchincloss. Jackie's life is told to us from her childhood until her death at 1040 Fifth Ave NYC from lymphoma in her 60s. Lee's life is also here from her childhood as Jackie's younger sister to current time and she is divorced and lives in NYC and Paris and had two children. This is about their separate lives and their lives intertwined.
When Jackie died her sister was not in her Will tho her sisters children were beneficiaries. Sadly Lee's son Anthony died. Given what we know about Jackie K Onassis there would have been a solid reason for this.
Reading about their separate and intertwined lies I did not like either of these women yet I dont think I really got a knowing of J as well as a knowing of Lee.
This is a very well done biography
