Lady Clementine

Elizabeth Wood

It was intriguing to learn about Winston Churchill’s wife and the contributions she made to England especially during World War II. 

However, this book has no plot. It is a fictional imagination of what Clementine Churchill could have been like. I think I prefer my historical fiction to incorporate real historical figures, but not focus the entire novel on them. There is only so much leeway with someone’s real life.

In 1909, Clementine steps off a train with her new husband, Winston. An angry woman emerges from the crowd to attack, shoving him in the direction of an oncoming train. Just before he stumbles, Clementine grabs him by his suit jacket. This will not be the last time Clementine Churchill will save her husband. Lady Clementine is the ferocious story of the ambitious woman beside Winston Churchill, the story of a partner who did not flinch through the sweeping darkness of war, and who would not surrender either to expectations or to enemies.
