What Remains: A Memoir of Fate, Friendship, and Love,
by Carole Radziwill
While some might consider this book overly melodramatic,
this reviewer found it a touching and intimate recounting of the author's
marriage to Anthony Radziwill. Growing up in Suffern, New York, Radziwill breaks
into the news reporting business and eventually becomes associated with Emmy
award-winning pieces. While working in broadcasting, she meets and marries
Anthony Radziwill, nephew of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and cousin of John F.
Kennedy, Jr. Unfortunately, after their marriage, he suffers a recurrence of
cancer, which results in their life becoming consumed by the disease. Much of
the book details his emotional and medical efforts to fight his cancer.
Radziwill has a clear, concise "reporting" style of writing that makes this a
sad, but compelling, reading experience.
