G.P. Putnam's Sons NY 1971. First Edition, 3rd Printing. Very Good/Unknown. Octavo, hardcover, purple boards; previous owner's name on endpaper else near fine in lihglty browned and lightly edgeworn white dj. 223 pages including index. intimate portrait of one of America's most remarkable women: the matriarch of the Kennedy family. Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy was a figure of striking paradoxes: a devout daily communicant regularly attending early-morning mass and one of a handful of women granted the supreme title of Papal Countess; She was also a woman of spectacular beauty, a leader in the demanding world of fashion, who at eighty still upstaged the most glamorous celebrities at such gala events as the April in Paris Ball. She was also the woman who for so long has drawn searching questions: How did she raise such a remark-able family? Was she the real "power" behind the Kennedys-and was she too powerful? How did she bear, over and over, such unspeakable tragedies with such unflinching poise? This is the full story of the daughter of Boston's most flamboyant mayor, Honey Fitz.
