Jackie Onassis attempted to lead a life out of the spotlight after the shocking assassination of her husband John F Kennedy but the world was still fascinated by the world’s most famous widow. British writer Eve Pollard documented her life in a biography over 30 years ago but this time she has blurred fact and fiction in a novel that has offended American critics with its racy take on the truth. She tells Jenni Murray what prompted her to imagine a sensational and fictitious life for America’s most revered First Lady.
'Jack's Widow' by Eve Pollard is published by Harper Collins, ISBN: 9780060817039.
