6/21/2023 0 Comments Come to the Edge by Christina Haag“Come to the Edge” is about the endless, burning passion of young love - the kind that strips you bare and leaves you for dead when it’s over. Onassis and her children and their friends roam freely at stately homes in New Jersey, Martha’s Vineyard, Palm Beach and Manhattan. The reader is swept into a rarified realm where an intensely private Jackie Kennedy - whose quietly regal life is ordered around comfort and personal space - is called Mrs. She examines the past frankly before donning the diaphanous veil of nostalgia that makes the book’s fateful denouement all the more tragic. However, she doesn’t bow to tabloid sensationalism instead, she gently dusts off her tender, aching memories and bravely holds them to the light. And it’s into this world that Haag’s memoir allows us intimate access. Because the life of a Kennedy is one of great privilege.
