Clementine

by Sonia Purnell

First published 2015

Clementine Churchill was the steel beneath her husband's thunder. As Winston navigated the crucible of World War II, Clementine shielded him from crisis, gently guiding his health and image. But her own ambitions burned bright - to be more than a wife in the shadows. In this revealing portrait, we see Clementine forge an unexpected alliance with Eleanor Roosevelt, challenge her husband's choices, and fearlessly put family first, even as the world depended on Churchill's leadership.
