The author describes her five-year love affair with Jack Kennedy, from 1953 to 1958, detailing Kennedy's constant battle with debilitating back pain, their efforts to avoid public exposure, and the demands of Kennedy's ambitious father.
It's 1953 on the Cote d'Azur. A beautiful blond 21-year-old Swedish aristocrat meets a charismatic, boyish American senator with what she calls a ''fascinating accent.'' They spend a romantic (and chaste) evening together, share a passionate kiss, and he professes his love. But, alas, the handsome prince is about to turn into a married man -- the very next week. So that's that. Or should have been. But the newly married, ambitious, increasingly famous senator writes ardently and phones often, declaring how much he needs ''my Swedish flicka'' and vowing they will meet again in Paris or the Rivi.
