It's hard to imagine that this rare collection could be less than fascinating, but thank heavens Rose wrote it when she did. This album, which begins with childhood pictures of Rose and Joseph P. Kennedy and ends with JFK's congressional campaign is more than the sum of its parts. Though the book is filled with comments, quotes, letters and snapshots, it's the continuity and the passage of time that fascinates.Here, for example is Rose, smiling wide with her tiny children. Here's another of her skating with her husband and looking like a teenager, though she has five or six children. These pictures are so strikingly different from the dignified icon we saw in later years. Early pictures of Joseph, with his small children are equally surprising. He's handsome, and for the first ten or twelve years of their marriage he is there a lot, on the beach, sitting on the steps of a beach rental.Later as time goes on, it's Rose's daughters who look carefree, and Joe is not around so much. But there are touching notes from him to his wife, and funny pictures with pets,lots of pets. Everyone wears wonderful clothes. Pictures of little girls in perfect matching hats. In most old photos from the twenties mens's suits look rumpled, many women look dumpy. Not these women! Not these suits.The Kennedys had great cameras. Many if these pictures, taken a hundred years ago, look crisp and bright, as though they were shot last week. The letters and notes add a lot as does the introduction and comments by Caroline Kennedy.Apparently this album is one of fifty owned by the Kennedy library. I completely enjoyed it. I hope that more of the collection is published someday. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rose Kennedy's Garden of Earthly Delights *by F***0 on Reviewed in the United States on December 22, 2013* I'm enjoying this book, lots of interesting close-up pictures of a clan whose egos embraced the camera. You can tell that lots of time and effort went into picture-taking in this family. The children all seem posed and dressed for the camera, even at play on the beach. They are perfectly groomed. It's as if they had their own hair-stylists and make-up artists on call 24/7.When I read the captions that accompany this pictures, I feel the presence of a very strong and conceited Rose Kennedy. She was obviously a caring mother, very goal oriented. . ..those kids had such structured lives, I wonder if they ever had any time to just "hang out" and de-stress. The parents were somewhat successful in raising high achieving kids who thrived on competition. But where is the love and affection here? It seems that the children knew they had better attain the high standards their parents set up for them. This is not an example of "unconditional love", quite the opposite.In Caroline Kennedy's narration, she expresses affection for her grandmother and seems to enjoy spending time with her. Still, in spite of her granddaughters high regard, Rose comes across as very stiff and formal. Her visits with the grand-kids seem ritualistic, the "special" walks around the Hyannis Port Estate whereby the kids were rewarded with a mint candy from her purseher control of dinner time discussions whereby the grandkids, just like their parents, were expected to be "policy wonks" at age 9 and above.For some reason, I just do not like this woman. She is so smug and self-righteous. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful Treasure Trove of Rare Photographs, Family Letters and Narrative *by C***S on Reviewed in the United States on November 8, 2013* I haven't quite finished "Rose Kennedy's Family Album" but I am really enjoying it. I have seen a handful of the photos before but I think 80% of them I have not. There is also a nice narrative that accompanies the pictures and copies of handwritten letters. It is more detailed than I thought it would be which is a nice bonus. I have read at least a dozen Kennedy biographies but I have still gleaned some new information from the basic biographical information. I bought the Kindle version after much debate. The Kindle version is well formatted - nice surprise! I can definitely see the merits in owning the hardcover copy but I have a small house and have been downsizing my book collection anyway. The less expensive Kindle price made it easier to rationalize my guilty Kennedy pleasure, too! If you're a a true fan of all things Kennedy, this is a can't miss - buy the book. If you have even a passing interest, check it out of the library when it becomes available. Caroline Kennedy doesn't need the money...lol :) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/8993753-rose-kennedys-family-album-from-the-fitzgerald-kennedy-private-collection](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/8993753-rose-kennedys-family-album-from-the-fitzgerald-kennedy-private-collection) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-09-15*
