Maggiori informazioni sul libro
From The Duke Of Marlborough To Winston Churchill. Having enjoyed Mary S Lovell's previous books, I was looking forward to this biography of The Churchills, and it has exceeded my expectations. In the preface, the author says she may be taken to task for adopting a 'gossipy' approach to her subjects. She also says that she began this project with the idea of writing about the entire Churchill family, but the scope was too much for one volume. Seeing that there are many biographies about individual people in this book, not least about its most famous member, Winston Churchill, that is a justifiable worry. However, Lovell has managed to produce a book that is sublime -interesting, informative and, yes, gossipy, in the most enjoyable way.
