![]() ![]() The strong parts of this book describe what it feels like to be a caretaker and not a bride, the guilt of selfish feelings when unflinching selflessness is required, the feelings of loss that come long before a death. Complicating that stress is a cancer that invades, as Radziwill puts it, right on schedule. As a non-royal American nobody, fitting into both European and American aristocracy proves a challenge. What Remains is Radziwill’s memoir about how she moved to New York City from a working-class town to become a journalist and television producer when she meets and marries a prince, Anthony Radziwill. Fortunately, that story is also redeemingly contained within the pages of What Remains: A Memoir of Fate, Friendship and Love. Radziwill’s fixation on the Kennedy’s story distracts from hers, the brutal story of a fairy tale marriage cut short by cancer. ![]() uncomfortable to read, like watching The Real Housewives of New York City. Carole Radziwill pins it to the reader and that judgment makes the story she wants to tell you about Carolyn and John Kennedy, Jr. ![]() “Tragedy whores.” We aren’t fond of this term. ![]()
