Paperback. Condición: Very Good. Illus. With Photos Ilustrador. Now in her eighty-ninth year, Mary Soames is the only surviving child of Winston and Clementine Churchill. Younger than her siblings by several years, she went to day school and enjoyed an idyllic childhood played out in her very own 'Garden of Eden' - Chartwell. Here she roamed house and grounds, tended diligently to her collection of pets, and had her first glimpses of the glittering social world in which her parents moved. Then, in 1939, Chamberlain's declaration of war dramatically ended this world as she and her family had known it. Hereafter we follow Mary's life through her fascinating personal diary, published here for the first time. Through the immediacy of her private observations we are drawn into a world where the ordinary minutiae of a packed family, social and romantic life proceed against a background of cataclysmic events. Joining the ATS and serving in mixed anti-aircraft batteries, Mary takes on her own set of professional demands while sharing the many anxieties and stresses brought to bear upon her family through her father's position. The mutual love and affection between Mary and her parents is evident on every page, from her earliest years at Chartwell to Winston's defeat at the 1945 general election, when Mary recounts her own pain and devastation on her father's behalf. At this point she meets her future husband, Christopher Soames. We are left in no doubt at the end of this charming and revealing memoir that, at twenty-four, Mary has lived a full life and is well prepared for her future as young wife and mother.

Paperback. Condición: Good. Clementine Churchill by Mary Soames is a deeply personal and richly detailed biography of one of the 20th century?s most influential yet often overlooked women. Written by her daughter, this intimate portrait reveals Clementine as far more than just Winston Churchill?s wife?she was his trusted confidante, fierce supporter, and political partner throughout the turbulent years of two world wars and beyond. Soames draws on private letters, diaries, and family memories to paint a nuanced picture of a woman of intelligence, strength, and grace, offering fresh insight into both Clementine?s inner world and her vital role in shaping modern history. This biography is essential reading for anyone interested in the personal dynamics behind political power. I have repaired this book, but someone else had tried to repair it earlier with tape. The tape rapair is still there as I didn?t remove it, but I did cut is it was rubbish. My repair is much better. You can see part of the repair in the cover image, the black mark down the left side, that is because I replaced the spine with card. Its a good job and the book is quite readable but the old tap inside is a bit messy, although its all dry and non-sticky.
