Summary

'If you are reading this, I am dead.' So begins this engrossing debut novel that ingeniously reimagines the extraordinary life and mysterious death of bohemian Georgetown socialite Mary Pinchot Meyer, a woman ahead of her time, a feminist who lived by her own rules and paid the ultimately price for her independence. She was a longtime lover of JFK. She was the ex-wife of a CIA chief. She was the sister-in-law of the Washington Post's Ben Bradlee. She believed in mind expansion and took LSD with Timothy Leary. She was a painter, a socialite and a Bohemian in Georgetown during the Cold War. And she ended up dead in an unsolved murder a year after JFK's assassination. The diary she kept was never found. Until now
