Clementine: the life of Mrs. Winston Churchill by Sonia Purnell BCD 941 Pur

 

This is an audiobook which I loved because I can listen to those accents for a long time!  I didn't even know the name of Churchill's wife before listening to this book.  I always knew that Eleanor Roosevelt had a large part during the war years but Clementine deserves to be right up there in history, also.  They were quite different in the way they influenced history.

Clementine came from aristocracy but there was no money anymore and it wasn't always easy for her growing up.  When she married Winston he became her number one priority.  And that didn't really change when the children came along.  Winston confided everything in "Clemmie" and he depended on her for many things - helping him with campaigning, revising his speeches and taking care of his health.

If you enjoy history, listen to this book.  I guarantee you will find alot you didn't know.  This woman's influence on the world is fascinating!
