Before becoming a Kennedy, Jacqueline Bouvier's most defining moment was her junior year of college, in which she studied in Paris to escape the confines of an overbearing family. Paris is everything she could have dreamed of and more—bustling jazz clubs, an enriching art scene, and a whirlwind romance with a writer her mother wouldn't approve of. However, witnessing the political unrest of postwar Paris ultimately cements her future in politics, and molds her into the American icon we cherish today. Based on real events, Jacqueline in Paris is a well-researched novel about one of the most monumental years of Jackie Kennedy's life. (HH)
