A long over-due tribute to the extraordinary woman who was Winston Churchill’s closest confident, fiercest critic and shrewdest political advisor that captures the intimate dynamic of one of history’s most fateful marriages.

In this book, author Sonia Purnell finally gives Clementine her due with a deeply researched account that tells her life story, providing a surprising account of her relationship with Eleanor Roosevelt and their differing approaches to the war effort.

Any real consideration of Winston Churchill is incomplete without an understanding of their relationship, and Clementine is both the first and real biography of this remarkable woman and a fascinating look inside their private world.

“Engrossing… Purnell’s book is the first formal biography of a woman who has heretofore been relegated to the sidelines.” – The New York Times.

The full title of this book is “Clementine: The Life of Mrs. Winston Churchill”. Published by Penguin Books (October 2016).
