In Touched By The Sun Carly Simon writes about her friendship with Jackie Onassis. They met living on Martha's Vineyard and struck up a friendship. They meet for lunch. They invite each other for tea or sherry. They attend plays and parties together. They gossip and share stories from their childhood. Carly and Jackie corroborate on some children's books. Reading about their friendship I am struck by Carly's insecurity and timidity. She fears offending Jackie. The two women are different. Jackie dresses in a classical style and is elegant. Carly dresses in a bohemian style and is casual and relaxed. While 90% of the book is about Carly Simon I didn't really learn much about Jackie O. other than rich famous people tend to like other rich and famous people.
