Congratulations to English alum Caroline Hallemann ('11), now a writer and editor at Town & Country magazine, whose non-fiction dual biography "The Kennedys and the Windsors" comes out in June! For more information on the book, visit the Penguin Random House website at: www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/743272/the-kennedys-and-the-windsors-by-caroline-hallemann/

"In 'The Kennedys and the Windsors,' acclaimed journalist Caroline Hallemann unearths the story of two iconic families whose lives, ambitions, and respective reigns have mirrored each other in surprising ways. Through rich archival research and fresh interviews from insiders on both sides of the Atlantic, Hallemann reveals how an upstart Irish Catholic family with little access into elite New England society came to host dinner parties for a King and Queen, and forge an eventual path to the White House."
