Kingmaker casts new light on the story of Pamela Churchill, as well as about the times she lived through. I came away from this book with a greater understanding of the interconnectedness of people, beliefs, and events. Sonia Purnell was able to write this biography in a way that brought the specifics of an individual life into the greater lens of the societies and people she influenced. Kingmaker is both a deeply personal story and a social history of both Britain and the United States during and after the Second World War.
