Yet he is also a virtuous man ensnared by an uncontrollable vice.</p><p>Startlingly empathetic, darkly witty and deft,<i>American Adulterer</i>takes inspiration from the tantalising details surrounding President Kennedy's sex life and medical secrets to weave a provocatively intricate portrait of the man's affairs, illness, courage and idealism - and in JFK's love for his wife, recreates one of history's most fascinatingly enigmatic marriages.</p>
