Clementine Churchill — shy, passionate, and high-strung — shunned publicity but was in the limelight throughout her adult life. As a young woman, her character, intelligence, and good looks won the attention of the impetuous Winston Churchill. Their courtship was swift, but their marriage proved immensely strong, spanning many of the major events of the twentieth century. Written with affection and candor by the Churchills’ daughter Mary Soames, this revised and updated biography of a lionhearted couple’s life together is not only of historic interest but deeply moving.

print too small

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 11, 2022

Topic and book are what I wanted, but print is too small for person to whom I was giving it as a gift. Very disappointing, and no mention of size font in book description.

Clementine Chruchill, her marriage and leadership

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 4, 2013

Verified Purchase

This work, an update of an earlier work, really moved me. The lives of Clemmie and Winston are an inspiration to all. Yes, they were of the leisure class. However, finances were not always not worrisome.
Basically, their family lived most of their lives on Winston's pen.
He was inspirational, brilliant and effective in leading the British people through World War II and in the early 1950's. At all times, Clementine was his rock, a beneficent leader of her own causes to help people who were suffering. She personally witnessed the Russian people's suffering when she visited Russia. After that she began a fund for Russia, raising millions of English pounds. She was honored over and over again for instance with an honorary Doctor of Laws degree. Finally,she was made a Baronness and actually served in the House of Lords.

An important read.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 22, 2009

Verified Purchase

I had to read this book after finishing Gilbert Martin's bio, CHURCHILL. In that read, Clementine became an enigma to me and I needed to figure out her wiring and better understand her significant contribution to this great man's life. She too was a great woman in her own right. One needs to read this well written biography of a marriage to get a more complete picture of the Churchill team. I appreciated Mary Soammes honesty; she enables us to know her parents on a deeper and more human level. I consider it an important read.

The importance of Clementine

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 29, 2010

Verified Purchase

I have always found Clementine Churchill to be fascinating. I am glad there are
books about her life and this is one of the best. It was writen by her daughter.
I liked reading about her childhood. I believe it certainly formed her personality.
Without delving too deeply,i think her youth "hurt" part of her and yet made her
strong in other ways. Clementine is just as important as Winston. What a great
lady she was! I will remember her always.

Excellent read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on March 1, 2013

Verified Purchase

I enjoy Mary Soames writing tremendously. This is a masterful biography of her own mother Clementine Churchill.

The author succeeds in interweaving domestic life with national and international events at the time. It is very interesting to read of happenings in the Churchill circle while during the first half of the last century.

I had read Mary Soames' "A Daughter's Tale" and knew I would not be daunted by this more lengthy tome.

Verified Purchase

Judging by the reviews here, this is a great book.
I bought this as a present so I shall have to wait to hear what my wife says of it.
However, I received superb service from 'Harnfield' on the Amazon Marketplace. For delivery and quality of product described they were great.
