Lady Clementine comes alive in this wonderfully written tense historical fiction .She was involved in all aspects of her husbands life career a bright strong woman her story kept me turning the pages. #netgalley#sourcebooks#

Lady Clementine by Marie Benedict is a delightful and enthralling historical fiction/biography of the incredible Clementine Churchill.
It encompasses how they met, what she was thinking during this courtship, as well as their early years of marriage through the end of WWII. While I would have loved to read about the remainder of her life, I feel that the book ended on a romantic and satisfying point in her life, and it was fitting for this novel.
I have to say I have always been a huge fan of Ms Benedict and have read, and enjoyed, all of her novels. This one did not disappoint.
I have so much respect for Ms Churchill, and learned so much more about her through this story. The author clearly did her research and brings nothing but respect and has created a wonderful piece that does justice to an amazing and classy woman.
I think I like Clementine so much because she is imperfect. Yes, she is strong, passionate, caring, selfless, intelligent, and fiery, but yet she has her weaknesses (an imperfect mother, bouts of anxiety), but she is impressive enough to call herself out on these issues and honestly does what she can to better herself.
I will read more on Clementine because this novel has created that inspiration for me to find out as much as I can. That is a huge compliment to the author.
5/5 stars enthusiastically
Thank you NetGalley and Sourcebooks Landmark for this stunning ARC and in return I am submitting my unbiased and voluntary review and opinion.
I am submitting this review to my GR account immediately and will post a review to my Amazon, Bookbub, and B&N accounts upon publication.
Thank you again!

I absolutely loved the book The Other Woman in the Room written by this author. I was excited to pick up this story, another historical fiction, about another impressive woman.
Clementine knew when she married Winston Churchill that he had huge goals and wanted her by his side.
She readily accepted the challenge. She became a true partner to him, both romantically as his wife but as politically.
Reading this book, you get the impression that every decision made by Winston was first reviewed and debated with Clementine.
As a result, she made a much bigger impact on the world than she’d ever be given credit for.
I enjoyed the story but it wasn’t quite as exciting as the previous book. No doubt it’s about a woman with a fascinating life and I enjoyed learning more about it.
I got to read an early ebook edition from NetGalley. Thanks!

Absolutely loved this book! The story flows, the characters are fascinating and I couldn't tear myself away. Highly recommended.

First, thank you to NetGalley and SOURCEBOOKS Landmark for providing me an e-ARC copy of this incredible book in exchange for my honest opinion.
I normally don't like books about politics but this is the story, told from Clementine Churchill's point of view of her life married to Winston Churchill and the behind the scenes influence that she had on his career, her struggles with motherhood, her inner struggles and her balancing her strong personality with the times. It is a definite page turner and it goes through all the significant political events without being boring, at least to me. It outlines their financial and political struggles and how she had to hold this all together. It's not easy being a woman!
This author is wonderful and I am going to read her other books as I love her writing style. I couldn't put this book down it is that great. I highly recommend it!

Lady Clementine will both inform and entertain its readers. The author presents a story not only of the tumultuous times the world suffered through two world wars, but also a story of an unbreakable bond between a husband and wife. Winston Churchill’s contribution and place in history is secure. What is presented in this story is how significant the contribution of his wife was to his success. She tempered his brashness, assisted with his speech preparation, provided another set of ears to conversations her husband had with other world stage leaders, all while maintaining a household and giving birth to five children. This reader appreciates the extensive research the author did on her subjects and therefore the fictional conversations have the ring of truth. I voluntarily reviewed an advance copy of this book from NetGalley. Most highly recommend.

Being a fan of Marie Benedict's, and admittedly knowing next to nothing about Lady Clementine Churchill, had me especially excited about this book. After reading it and learning how involved she was with her husband's work for their entire lives has given me a new sense of respect for this woman. And I look forward to learning more about her.
