The life of Winston Churchill has been

explored and retold countless times, but

what about the lives of his daughters Diana,

Sarah, Marigold and Mary? Rachel Trethewey

looks to uncover these stories in The Churchill

Girls, which looks past the glitz and glamour

of some of their more famous relatives and

offers a behind-the-scenes picture of one of

England’s most powerful families.

With biographies that cover the build

up to war, life in WWII and the aftermath,

Trethewey offers a unique perspective on

some of the events that shaped the 20th

century, from Parliament to Potsdam. Thanks

to previously unpublished family letters, we

get to delve deeper into the Churchill family

than ever before.
