Book Description:
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.Members who requested this book also requested: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."

Julie B. (This was a very good book. We are all a bit curious about the lives of the Kennedys and this book was a very good one to read as there is nothing sensational about it. And it was written from the viewpoint of a 'commoner'. Radziwill married into our 'American royalty', in marrying John Kennedy's cousin. The behind the scenes glimpse into their friendship and Kennedy's final days is very interesting without making the reader feel he is intruding or prying. Radziwill is a very good writer. She writes very poignantly about her marriage and her husband's death. I was glad no one was home when I finished it, so that I could just let the tears flow. But it wasn't a depressing story - just a very moving one.
