Absolutely loved it! Barron reminds us what badasses women of the Victorian and Edwardian periods had to be. In my opinion, Jennie Churchill is the greater hero than Winston for all she endured and overcame. #bookreview #historicalfiction #britlit
#currentlyreading My #Anglophile self has had this one on my To-Read list for awhile. Excited to finally get started! A Novel about the life and loves of Winston Churchill‘s scandalous American mother.
I'm a fan of historical fiction, so it goes without saying that I loved this book. It's a nice introduction to Jennie Churchill and a few of the other million dollar princesses.
Spending part of this long weekend reading these books in my favorite reading spot. Happy 4th of July!
Very interesting, a novel about Jenny Churchill. Winston's mother. Set in England in the late 19th century, this book is filled with descriptions of the nobility of the Victorian era. Jenny was an American, and had to fit into that society. An independent woman, you can like or dislike her, this was a fascinating story of her life.
I thought this book would be a little more Winston Churchill than it was....I couldn‘t really get into the story of the American socialite and her reputation, gowns, and affairs. I‘m not sure how much is actual history and what was fiction. Perhaps this was too light of a book to read after Just Mercy- I just couldn‘t respect the main character.
