Dark Lady: Winston Churchill's Mother and Her World

This is an amazingly historical book, well written, with very specific details about Jennie Jerome's life in New York, Paris and her involvement in the politics of the UK in the early part of XX Century. Charles Higham makes a linear description of life in Europe and the Middle East during Jennie's time. Her personal life as wife and mother is covered in detail, her extra-marital relationships just add spice to the story. I loved it.
