never choose to read biographies. Typically I find them long, wordy and hard to follow. This story felt SO different, and I was hooked. Thretheway did such a great job detailing Winston, Clementine and the Churchill sisters’ (Diana, Sarah and Mary) lives. The story was broken into three parts: the girls’ childhoods, the war years, and life after the war. I loved reading about how caring and nurturing Winston was, especially when his children were struggling, and they did face many hardships. It was also great to see how supportive the sisters were to one another. I feel like I learned a lot with this book and the information did not feel like overload.

This was a really informative book on the Churchill family, with an emphasis on his daughters. Admittedly it was challenging to listen to at times because my attention would waver, resulting in missed information. I think I would have done better with this book as an e-book or physical copy, but that does not mean I loved it any less. I didn't know too much about the Churchill family, so this was definitely educational. They experience a great deal of tragedy, and it certainly took its toll on their mental and physical health. It is interesting to read about the ramifications of "being in the spotlight" on the Churchills, as this remains an issue many celebrities today face as well. For readers looking for an interesting non-fiction read that deals with themes of politics, history, mental health, family dynamics, gender issues, and resilience, I recommend checking this book out!
