Jennie Jerome grows up between wealthy New York and imperial Paris before revolution drives her family to Britain. Her rapid marriage to Lord Randolph Churchill brings her into the aristocracy, political society and the circle of the future Edward VII. Jennie supports Randolph’s turbulent career, raises two sons and later becomes an important advocate for Winston Churchill as he enters public life. Widowhood does not end her search for independence: she travels, writes and marries twice more. The novel presents a transatlantic life shaped by money, reputation, political ambition and resistance to the expectations placed on Victorian and Edwardian women.
