In this book, with the skill of an experienced biographer, an Irish sense of humour and a measure of intuition, Anita Leslie has produced a vivid and convincing portrait of Jennie, Lady Randolph, Winston Churchill’s mother.From his father, Winston Churchill surely inherited the gift of oratory. But from his mother he drew greater gifts of inestimable value to the nation he led in the dark days of 1940-1. She gave him her ache for action, her formidable stamina, her courage and, above all, the will to stand fast in adversity and to endure whatever fate threw at her. Jennie was an extraordinary beauty whose zest, courage, intelligence and conversational ease made her, in her own right, one of the international figures of her day.When she married Lord Randolph Churchill, a fascinating young man who was violently in love with her, she had no idea he would become the most brilliant and controversial politician in England at the time. But she was eminently suited to be the wife of a politician and, although her role would be `to applaud not to advise,' she brought to it her whole heart and her lively intelligence.Yet her marriage to Randolph was a struggle which she had to learn to endure, and after his death she went on marry twice more, to men much younger than herself.She adored Winston and went to great lengths to satisfy his whims as a young man, and she was hugely influential in shaping the great figure he would become.Anita Leslie has used personal memories and family papers to create a fascinating look at one of the most powerful of Churchill women, mother of Winston.‘an absorbing book as an adjunct to the biographies of husband and son.’ – The Spectator‘Anita Leslie provides the balancing anecdotal information on Jennie as a belatedly fond mother, a competitive mother-in-law, a distant grandmother, and a patriotic aristocrat at her socially brilliant best in giddy Edwardian days’ – Kirkus ReviewsAnita Leslie (1914-85) was Winston Churchill’s first cousin, once removed. She published an array of fiction and non-fiction, and brought out a memoir, A Story Half Told, in 1983. As well as writing the biography of Churchill’s mother, she also wrote one of her cousin Randolf, Churchill’s son. Endeavour Press is the UK's leading independent digital publisher.

Sir Winston Chuchill was so fascinating, his life so interesting that I was eager to read about the mother who raised such a remarkable offspring. However, I was deeply disappointed. Most of the book, at least to its half mark, contains the same letters which Randolph S. Churchill already published in his monumental work "Winston S. Churchill"; as a matter of fact, Ms. Leslie's book reads like a watered-down version of his book. The great difference is that his book is about Winston S. Chruchill, but although she claims to write a biography of Jennie Jerome, unfortunately she does not deliver what the title promises. It is all about everyone else and Jennie has a mere supporting role, even though the book was to be mostly about her. Basically we read a great deal about balls, visits to castles and her preoccupation with money, but the obviously fascinating woman she must have been, does not emerge. Another difference is that Mr. Churchill included the full length of the letters in his book, while Ms. Leslie merely chose short segments, thus making the letters sound superficial, almost inane. In general I felt that it was an account of the political, military, horse-racing, yachting and enteraining adventures of an extended family over three generations, but Jennie was definitely not the focus of the book.I also did not care for the many French expressions without translation. As long as these expressions were included, the author must have felt they were important, but it left many a reader clueless. Another weakness of the book is the unfortunate choice of font. The difference between the regular print and the italics print are very slight and I found that I often could not distinguish the difference between a quotation and the author's voice. This could have have been a result of my reading it in the kindle mode-- but the e-book cannot be blamed for the weird printing of numbers, which look anything but numbers.I t is one book I was not able to finish..
