The editor

The editor / Steven Rowley, read by Michael Urie, 310 pgs.

An absolutely charming book about a first time author dealing with his dysfunctional family by turning it into fiction and trying to sell it.  His manuscript gets picked up by a publisher and when he goes to meet his editor, he finds out it is Jackie Kennedy Onassis.  Imagine the star struck writer...working with such a famous editor.  But this isn't really about THEIR relationship, it is much more about the author and his mother.  I thought the Jackie O. this was going to be trite but it turned out to be delightful. The audio version of this book was perfectly done.  Recommended.
