And They Called It Camelot by Stephanie Marie Thornton - 5 Stars

[Diana]

An intimate portrait of the life of Jackie O…

Few of us can claim to be the authors of our fate. Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy knows no other choice. With the eyes of the world watching, Jackie uses her effortless charm and keen intelligence to carve a place for herself among the men of history and weave a fairy tale for the American people, embodying a senator’s wife, a devoted mother, a First Lady—a queen in her own right.

But all reigns must come to an end. Once JFK travels to Dallas and the clock ticks down those thousand days of magic in Camelot, Jackie is forced to pick up the ruined fragments of her life and forge herself into a new identity that is all her own, that of an American legend.

All I want is a man with a little imagination. Is that too much to ask?

So Jacqueline got a man with a WIDE imagination and her decision to marry him turned her life in a completely different direction. I liked reading about her very much. I knew almost nothing about her so I learned a lot. I googled often to know more about that times, different personalities, to see her in all those clothes described.

I was astounded by her inner power, by her strong love towards Jack, and by her willingness to make the world a better place. While I was reading the book, I felt all her disappointments, fears, and pain by myself. The author did a really good job delivering Jackie's state of mind and her point of view on different things.

I absolutely loved reading this novel. So I think I'll continue to improve my knowledge of some women in history with Stephanie Thornton.

P.S. Thank you, Amy, that made me want to read this book:)
