Rose Kennedy: The Life and Times of a Political Matriarch by Barbara Perry is one more of zillions of biographies of the Kennedys. For some reason I never tire of reading about them. There has been much less written about Rose. This books does a good job. The writing is excellent as is the story. If you have lived the story as I have there is much less new. I was surprised at how little time the parents spent with those nine kids though she protests that she was always there for them. She seemed to miss their first communions, their confirmations, their graduations etc. As did Joe, the father. And Joe and Rose always seemed to be in different places but not together. The book is an easy read and worth a detour if you have not had enough of the Kennedys.

Describes the life of the Kennedy family matriarch using information culled from her newly-made-public diaries and letters from defying her father's wishes and marrying Joseph Kennedy through the crushing tragedies that seem to plague her extensive family.

For me, the most interesting part of the book had to do with Rose's tenure in London as the ambassador's wife. Her later years were pretty much glossed over in a handful of pages. It felt like the author was in a rush to wrap up the book.
A good biography of an interesting subject. ( )
