I generally buy every Kennedy related book that I can get my hands on, and I was very excited to get this one. I think the story of Rosemary is absolutely tragic. She suffered, most likely, from a lack of oxygen during birth. She was well loved by her siblings and family, despite her mental deficit. Her family thought they were really doing something for her by putting her in an institution and giving her a lobotomy. It really makes you wonder what her life would have been like if she hadn't done that. I would recommend this book for anyone interested in the Kennedy family.
