Lady Clementine: A Novel

Beautifully written. An eye into history that I didn’t know . Would recommend this book to anyone interested in this slice of the happenings in the life of the Churchill family during the wars in Europe.

This book was fantastic. I never even knew much about Winston Churchill wife. She was even more into helping with WWI/II than Elenor Roosevelt. This is my second book of Marie Benedict, I think I will be reading all f them.

The Other Einstein was my first introduction to Marie Benedict. Of the two books it remains my favorite. This story about Clementine Churchill is illuminating, thought provoking, and inspires further digging into the life and times of yet another under acknowledged woman of history. I thoroughly enjoyed my first reading of this book and am certain to revisit it several more times in the near future. It challenges some of my older beliefs regarding the relationship between FDR, Eleanor, and Winston, it also made me want to learn more about the legacy of Churchill through his children. For me good books satisfy and entertain. Great books leave me hungry for more. This book in among the great.I received this book through Kindle Unlimited's "read for free" rental plan. Few of Ms. Benedict's books are listed in that program, so I was quick to respond when I received notice that this title had been added to the list. My personal budget will not allow for purchasing all of the books that I would like, libraries are inconvenient for my work schedule. This program has doe a fine job of making better books available to me at a price that fits my budget.

I had many mixed feelings about who Clemmie was as a woman, a wife, a mother. Her opinions of herself were also complex. So what would she have to say about how she was portrayed by this author?

I learned of the many challenges and bravery of the English people and their leaders. Clementine and Winston were leaders through a terrible war.

While I enjoyed this book, it was drawn out in places and didn't keep my interest like Benedict's other books. My biggest issue was that Winston didn't seem to make a move without his wife's help. I agree that Clementine was a huge asset to him, and appeared his perfect partner, but for a man of Churchill's caliber, I doubt this total helplessness was true. Still, a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the era and the marriage of Clemmie and Winston Churchill.

I am glad to have learned about Churchill's wife, but I thought the book was very repetitive. I read it for my Book Club and couldn't wait to get it done.

Liked this book. Loved all her other books.

Fascinating sort of a strong woman behind an amazing man. She certainly helped him through the darkest hours of the war.

This was an amazing book, a great read, and an eye opening. I have almost read all of Marie Benedict books and am so greatfull that somone is shining a light on these incredible women.

I love this author's previous book - the other Einstein - so that may have influenced my initial read of this book (Lady Clementine. I found the book slow going at first but knowing the author's other work I stuck with it. It was a great decision. I very much liked the focus on the relationship between Lady Clementine and husband Winston Churchill. I felt as if Ihad been shown behind the scenes of the Churchill's lived against a background of world war.

Many books on this lady . This seems to short version of all the other books. Well written and easy to read.

Such a good book.l really enjoyed it
