Lady Clementine - Marie Benedict
She read
Publication date: Jan. 7, 2020
This is the story of Clementine Churchill from the time she meets Winston through World War II, with additional insight into her childhood and family background as well. Lady Clementine presents as an admirable woman, not only for what she did for Britain, but also her ability to negotiate around her larger than life husband without cowering before him.
I am always hesitant to read fictionalized accounts of real people; I have concern about what is real and what is made up as authors put words into the mouths of historical figures. This does seem to be well researched. I learned a bit of history of Britain; and just hope that it reflects reality and not a fictionalized account.
This is a fast read as it jumps through a historical time line, highlighting important events and reactions to them. Although I thought it a bit saccharine, it was an enjoyable read.
