well played review from Publishers Weekly of What Remains : A Memoir of Fate, Friendship, and Love by Carole Radziwill (Hardcover - Sept05) : Here's a very sad story: a middle-class girl is working as a reporter at ABC, where she meets a handsome man from a famous family. They court, marry and become best friends with the husband's first cousin and his new wife. Abruptly, the reporter's husband is diagnosed with cancer. He dies, but not before the cousin and his wife (and her sister) die, too, in a senseless plane crash. pov:switch! This would be a heartbreaking story even if it weren't about Anthony Radziwill, nephew of Jackie Kennedy Onassis, and about his and Carole's friendship with John and Carolyn Bessette Kennedy. But because its publisher (and, presumably, the author) have decided not to market it as a "Kennedy book" but "a memoir of fate, friendship and love," it begs consideration on its literary merits. So here goes: Radziwill is a serviceable, if sentimental, writer... seen in window of B&N University Bookstore on way to P.O. just now. with "In the News" sign, together with Frey and McCourt and a fourth memoir. Memoirs are in the news, just now.
