Helpful Score: 1

I use the term 'Biography' to describe the type of 'historical-fiction' you will be reading in this novel. You will not only learn about world history, but about some of the players in the time of WWI and WWII. Not only will you learn about Winston Churchill, but you will get to know Lady Clementine (pronounced in Britain with a long 'e' as in Josephine). Through her research Ms. Benedict was able to make 'Clemmie' and all of the characters, including Winston Churchill, come alive in print. I have read many historical fiction stories, but only came away with the factual history. The warmth and depth of the characters that made the history seemed did not come alive. They seemed to be only words not people. Ms. Benedict's writing brought life to all of the participants in this story. Recommend.
