Summary

When the nineteen-year-old beauty, Jennie Jerome, agrees to marry the son of a duke she has known only three days, she's instantly swept up in a whirlwind of British politics and the social climbing of the Marlborough House Set, the men who surround Bertie, prince of Wales. Raised to think for herself and careless of English society rules, the new Lady Randolph Churchill becomes a London sensation: adored by some, despised by others. Artistically gifted and politically shrewd, she shapes her husband's rise in Parliament and her young son's difficult passage through boyhood. But as the family's influence soars, scandals explode and tragedy befalls the Churchills. Jennie is drawn to the seductive Count Charles Kinsky - diplomat, skilled horse racer, deeply passionate lover. Their affair only intensifies as Randolph Churchill's sanity frays and Jennie - a woman whose every move on the public stage is judged - must walk a tightrope between duty and desire. Forced to decide where her heart truly belongs, Jennie risks everything - even her son, Winston - and disrupts lives, including her own, on both sides of the Atlantic
