Mrs. Churchill – My Life with Winston

Winston Churchill is undoubtedly one of the most famous Englishmen in history. His inspirational leadership helped secure victory in the Second World War, and his 62-year parliamentary career saw him make many momentous decisions.

They say that behind every great man is a great woman—but was this true for Churchill? What of Clementine, his wife of 56 years? Did he bully her as he did with many others? Was he as grumpy and irascible at home as he often was in the House of Commons? Despite his formidable strength and conviction, did Clementine have any influence over him, or was she merely "the little lady at home"?

These questions—and many more—are explored in Liz Grand’s superb, moving, and insightful portrayal of Clementine Churchill. Grand, known for other acclaimed performances such as The Second Best Bed and Where Is Mrs. Christie?, brings depth and sensitivity to this remarkable story.

As Winston himself once said, “My most brilliant achievement was my ability to persuade my wife to marry me.”
