The Importance of Being Kennedy


I enjoyed this novel, The Importance of Being Kennedy by Laurie Graham, based on the nanny to the Kennedy children. Nora gets the job of looking after baby Joseph Kennedy in 1917 and remains there after the last of the Kennedy children are born. She is a witness to history and she has an interesting take on the family. Rose Kennedy (the children's mother) is portrayed as being more concerned with the family's place in society than with the children. 31/2/5
