Americans in the turn of the century were a source of political ambush, sexual dalliances, and general drama not unlike we would see on soap operas today. And Jenny Jerome was no different, despite being in a different world, Paris. Amidst counterparts of Alva Vanderbilt, Jennie is portrayed as a headstrong woman, looking for love outside of her hasty marriage to Mr. Churchill. Her vitality is imbibed with first her affair with a Frenchman, and then later with the political career of her son Winston. Fascinating to see the women of the time as the forces behind much of the world's changes of the time. A well written book that will bring much insight to the parentage of one of the greatest men of the 20th century.
