An intimate portrait of the life of Jackie O...

Few of us can claim to be the authors of our fate. Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy knows no other choice. With the eyes of the world watching, Jackie uses her effortless charm and keen intelligence to carve a place for herself among the men of history and weave a fairy tale for the American people, embodying a senator’s wife, a devoted mother, a First Lady - a queen in her own right.

But all reigns must come to an end. Once JFK travels to Dallas and the clock ticks down those 1,000 days of magic in Camelot, Jackie is forced to pick up the ruined fragments of her life and forge herself into a new identity that is all her own, that of an American legend.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"And They Called It Camelot is the book club pick of the year. Stephanie Marie Thornton brings an American icon to life: Jackie the debutante, the First Lady, the survivor who at last becomes the heroine of her own story." (Kate Quinn, New York Times best-selling author of The Huntress)

"An extraordinary profile of the courage and grace of the indomitable Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis, And They Called it Camelot is impeccably researched and richly drawn. Thornton celebrates the former First Lady’s life in a sweeping account filled with poignant intimacy. Readers are instantly transported to Jackie’s version of Camelot as they immerse themselves in the fascinating and tumultuous history of the times. An unputdownable, unforgettable read." (Chanel Cleeton, New York Times best-selling author of Next Year in Havana)

"Addictive, dishy, and emotionally haunting, this novel paints an intimate portrait of a tumultuous marriage that played out on the world's stage and ended in national tragedy. Loving and losing one of history's most charismatic American presidents marks Jaqueline Kennedy's life ever after, but oh, how she rises up from the ashes. Vivid, engrossing, and utterly unforgettable, And They Called It Camelot is Thornton's best work yet." (Stephanie Dray, New York Times best-selling coauthor of America's First Daughter)

Fantastic story, beautifully written and extremely historically accurate. However, Cassandra Campbell’s narration, after listening to a few of her other recordings, is nothing special.

Her Jack Kennedy drawls like a Virginian - identical to her Thomas Jefferson/Thomas Mann Randolph voices in ‘America’s First Daughter.’ Not a trace of an exaggerated Bostonian/mid-Atlantic accent so characteristic of the Kennedy family. JFK had an extremely distinctive voice that I understand must be hard to capture effectively, but with as many books as Cassandra Campbell has narrated, she should be able to attempt one.

Her Jackie Bouvier-Kennedy-Onassis, meanwhile, is a carbon copy of her Eliza Schuyler Hamilton in ‘My Dear Hamilton.’ She seems to only do two voices competently: an intelligent but reserved society woman and a Southern gentleman.

Also, the way she says “I gasped” - which carries across several books - is extremely annoying.

Same old, same old.

I thought this was a great listen, but was disappointed to learn at the end it was not historically accurate and the author had changed things. I felt like this should have been shared at the beginning of the book. Very fascinating though!

Good but not accurate

Such a great book! This may very well be one that is better as audio than read because the performance is so good! This truly felt as tho Jackie herself was sharing her story and including insider details. Loved it!

I feel like I know Jackie now

I loved the descriptions of all the places, events and people. I would have liked more details on the children’s school in NY.

Very well written!

I loved it... it might have been sweet, but I would love to believe Jackie adored Jack regardless of his cheating. He came back to her after all for everything. I think the story is entertaining and well written. I enjoyed it very much.
