Lovell does an admirable job of describing more of the Churchill family then just Winston. Although, be not mistaken Winston Churchill takes a large share of this book and it ends with Clementine's death. The highlight of the book was finding all the connections the Churchills had made with the famous people of their time, long before Winston's fame.

Winston is the most famous, but his family was not short of interesting people. It was so good to see the family, how they shaped/influenced Winston and the type of legacy his generation left. I recommend this book to anyone who has a mild fascination with Winston Churchill. It describes him enough to fill a void, but also beautifully describes his time and family. Now I must read Lovell's book about the Mitford sisters.
