Darling Winston: Forty years of correspondence between Churchill and his mother

Between 1881, when Churchill was just six, and 1921, the year of his mother`s death, Winston Churchill and Jennie Jerome were prolific and energetic correspondents. Their exchange of letters has never before been published as a volume of correspondence, and many of these intimate letters – between two highly gifted writers – are being published here for the first time. A significant addition to the Churchill canon, Darling Winston traces Churchill`s emotional, intellectual and political development as confided to his main mentor. As well as providing a basic narrative of Jennie and Winston`s lives over a forty-year period, Darling Winston portrays a mother-son relationship characterised at the outset by Winston`s dependence on his mother, which is dramatically reversed as her life crumbles tragically towards its end.
