Reviews

The record of a remarkably enduring marriage
*The Scotsman*

Lady Soames, the Churchills' sole surviving child... has edited these letters with great skill, providing a lively commentary and vivid pen portraits of supporting characters
*Mail on Sunday*

We expect the correspondence of Winston Churchill and his wife, Clementine, to be interesting... and still these letters can astonish: in their scope; in the way their individual brilliance is sustained day by day and year upon year
*Sunday Telegraph*

A fascinating aid to our understanding of an extraordinary couple
*Spectator*
