...lieutenant, urged that Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy be brought into the campaign. "But she's a grandmother," objected Joe Kennedy. "That's all right," said Powers. "She's a Gold Star mother, the mother of a war hero and a Congressman, the wife of an ambassador, the daughter of a mayor and Congressman, the daughter-in-law of a state senator and representative.

Beyond having brought the girl up to feel like someone with two heads, and having kept her away from school and other children, Margaret - while flaunting her contempt for her husband - does not know how to convey her love to her child...
...Troyat tenderly recounted the provincial courtship of Amelie Aubernat and Pierre Mazalaigue in the early 1900s. As this sequel opens, it is 1915. Pierre is a World War I infantry corporal at the front, while Amelie is struggling to run their Paris cafe, tend her infant daughter, and discipline her young brother, Dennis, who ricochets from the arms of a blowzy cashier to the inviting lingerie of a young laundress...
