But they were not in another family, they were Churchills, and neither they nor anyone else could ever forget it. From their father – ‘the greatest Englishman’ – to their brother, golden boy Randolph, to their eccentric and exciting cousins, the Mitford Girls, they were surrounded by a clan of larger-than-life characters which often saw them overlooked. While Marigold died too young to achieve her potential, the other daughters lived lives full of passion, drama and tragedy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDiana, intense and diffident; Sarah, glamorous and stubborn; Mary, dependable yet determined – each so different but each imbued with a sense of responsibility toward each other and their country. Far from being cosseted debutantes, these women were eyewitnesses at some of the most important events in world history, at Tehran, Yalta and Potsdam. Yet this is not a story set on the battlefields or in Parliament; it is an intimate saga that sheds light on the complex dynamics of family set against the backdrop of a tumultuous century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrawing on previously unpublished family letters from the Churchill archives, \u003ci\u003eThe Churchill Sisters\u003c\/i\u003e brings Winston’s daughters out of the shadows and tells their remarkable stories for the first time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Enthralling.\" --\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Bookseller \u003c\/i\u003e(UK), Editor's Choice\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e“[The sisters’] lives were just as full of drama, passion and tragedy as the Mitfords…this intimate saga sheds much light on the complex dynamics of a family where forgiveness and acceptance were often required.” –\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Bookshelf \u003c\/i\u003e(UK)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Trethewey has been able to shed invaluable new light on the tangled and occasionally fraught relationships that Churchill’s three adult daughters...each had with Winston, their mother Clementine, their brother Randolph, and each other...she has rightly produced a fine, uplifting work.\" --\u003cb\u003eAndrew Roberts, bestselling author of \u003ci\u003eChurchill: Walking with Destiny\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“A thoughtful portrait of the lives of three women on the forefront of history, but most importantly, a poignant story of sisterhood.” –\u003cb\u003eCatherine Grace Katz, bestselling author of \u003ci\u003eThe Daughters of Yalta\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“A delightful and fascinating study of an unexplored area of Churchill family life.” –\u003cb\u003eCelia Sandys, author of \u003ci\u003eChasing Churchill \u003c\/i\u003eand granddaughter of Winston Churchill \u003c\/b\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“An absorbing insight into the lives of their extraordinary daughters.
