Wake Forest Alum Caroline Hallemann Publishing New Biography this Summer

English Department alum Caroline Hallemann (’11), now a writer and editor for Town & Country Magazine, will be publishing her first book with Penguin Random House this summer. The non-fiction dual biography, The Kennedys and the Windsors, comes out in June. For more information, visit the publisher’s website.

“For nearly a century, two families an ocean apart have captured the world’s collective imagination: the British Windsors and the American Kennedys. Much ink has been spilled on their individual trysts, tragedies, and triumphs over the years, but no one has examined their powerful and intertwined legacies. Until now.

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.”
