ReadingTheDots@social.vivaldi.net"Ethel Kennedy: The Extraordinary Life and Bold Legacy" by Kerry Kennedy. My rating: 5 out of 5 stars. Published in 2026.
Book description: A vivid, and intimate biography of Ethel Kennedy, written by her daughter, Kerry Kennedy. Inside the life of an iconic American. When her husband Robert F. Kennedy was assassinated in 1968, Ethel Skakel Kennedy, drew national attention for her grace, dignity, and resolute commitment to furthering his work in human rights, which she did for the rest of her life. Ethel was so much more than a dutiful wife and keeper of Robert's extraordinary legacy of service. She was extraordinary in her own courageous, curious, compassionate, and witty self.
I think this is a marvelous book. Anyone who knows me, knows I love to read books about the Kennedy family. Not scandalous ones, but books that share their gifts to the world, and their legacy of public service. I highly recommend this book.
