"What Remains" by Carole Radziwill. We all know the story, the public part of the story. This very well written book takes us inside a tragic, tragic part of the family's history. All of a sudden the book showed up on a couple of posts and I picked it up and then could not put it down.

This one is different - it's *What Remains: A Memoir of Fate, Friendship & Love by Carole Radziwill*.

Published in *2005*, it was a New York Times #1 bestseller. It's not a novel like the Sally Hepworth books. It's a true, heartbreaking memoir.

Here is a summary in English:

*Who is Carole Radziwill?*

Carole is a journalist, an Emmy Award-winning producer for ABC News.

She married into one of the most famous families in America. Her husband was *Anthony Radziwill* - son of Prince Stanislaw Radziwill and Lee Radziwill (Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis's sister), so Anthony was *JFK Jr.'s cousin and best friend*.

In 1994, Carole and Anthony were newlyweds, living in New York, totally in love, with perfect careers.

*The Two Tragedies:*

Within a few months, Carole loses everything.

*1. Her husband gets cancer.*

Just months after their wedding, Anthony is diagnosed with terminal cancer (testicular cancer that has spread). Carole becomes his caretaker for 5 years. She watches the man she loves slowly die, through chemo, surgeries, hope, and despair.
