Benedict…delivers a winning fictionalized biography of Clementine Churchill…. It’s an intriguing novel, and the focus on the heroic counsel of a woman that has national and international impacts will resonate in the present day.

Fans of historical fiction, especially set around World War II; readers who appreciate strong, intelligent female leads; or those who just want to read a compelling page-turner will enjoy this gem of a novel. —Pamela O'Sullivan, Coll. at Brockport Lib., SUNY

Well-researched, illuminating account of a complex, intelligent woman.
Booklist


[A] fast-paced narrative.… The thrilling ride is marred only by repetitive scenes of an impassioned Winston lashing out at Clemmie, whose stern looks immediately remind her Pug to take better care of his Cat. A rousing tale of ambition and love.
