Rho's Reviews > Kick: The True Story of JFK's Sister and the Heir to Chatsworth

I have read three books this summer about Kathleen - Kathleen by Leaming, That Kennedy Girl by DeMaria and this account. This book was the best of all three - Byrne's research produced a thorough history of her short life. The book confirms what we all know - a) that Rose Kennedy was a selfish , narrow minded woman who cared more about how her family was perceived than the children's needs and happiness ; and b) that her father worshipped the almighty dollar but did care more for his kids than Rose did. This is a wonderful story of a remarkable woman who chose to make a life in England. A good book and an interesting account of a Kennedy that most of us don't remember. I enjoyed learning what life was like both pre and post WW ll for the people of England
