By placing Meyer at the nexus of one of the twentieth century's definitive eras, Wolfe's inspired study of a cryptic woman is credible and haunting.--<em>Booklist </em><strong>(starred review)</strong><br><br>"Mary Pinchot Meyer, JFK's lover, kept a secret diary that vanished after she was murdered in Georgetown in 1964. In this intriguing novel, Paul Wolfe creatively conjures up the life story she might have written." --Meryl Gordon, bestselling author of <em>Bunny Mellon, The Life of American Style Legend</em> and <em>Mrs. Astor Regrets</em><br><br>In real life, Mary Pinchot Meyer had a love affair with JFK, may have done LSD with him and was mysteriously murdered in 1964.
