The Editor by Steven RowleyMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
An interesting historical fiction novel about a struggling writer in NYC in the 1990's. The author sells his semi-autobiographical book about his dysfunctional family, and at the first meeting with his editor discovers that it is non other than Mrs. Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. Half of the book deals with the author and his editorial meetings with Mrs. Onassis; she needs him to re-write the ending. Interspersed are his interactions with his various family members, but current and past. Secrets are revealed, clashes are described, memories are told from different points of view. All in all a very compelling novel.
