Jared Kushner, son-in-law of the erstwhile American president, is writing a book. Will it be the usual Washington ‘tell-all’, with the majority of its readers looking no further than the index? Or something more? The latter, one hopes. Mr Kushner could earn a bit of the world’s respect in the manner of another infamous son-in-law, Count Ciano, whose diaries remain one of the most cited accounts of Europe’s self-destruction at midcentury. Ciano and his wife were, no doubt, more interesting people than the Trumpettes – it’s hard to imagine the one getting himself executed and the other sharing her bed with a Communist, et al. But it’s also likely the story of this family hasn’t yet had its denouement.
