Clementine Churchill: The Biography of a MarriageHoughton Mifflin Harcourt, 2002 - Всего страниц: 621 Clementine Churchill -- shy, passionate, and high-strung -- shunned publicity but was in the limelight throughout her adult life. As a young woman, her character, intelligence, and good looks won the attention of the impetuous Winston Churchill. Their courtship was swift, but their marriage proved immensely strong, spanning many of the major events of the twentieth century. Written with affection and candor by the Churchills' daughter Mary Soames, this revised and updated biography of a lionhearted couple's life together is not only of historic interest but deeply moving. |
