Summary

An engrossing debut novel that cannily reimagines the extraordinary life and mysterious death of bohemian Georgetown socialite Mary Pinchot Meyer -- secret lover of JFK, ex-wife of a CIA chief, sexual adventurer, LSD explorer and early feminist living by her own rules"If you're 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 ultimate 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 free spirit in Washington, DC during the cold war. And she ended up dead in an unsolved murder a year after JKF's assassination. The diary she kept was never found. Until now..
