Customer Review ” I really enjoyed this book – fascinating plot that had me gripped. At centre of the story is an Anglo-German family whose loyalties are torn during the second world war. The woman has an affair with Hitler – seems rather far-fetched but the book draws you in and I couldn’t put it down!”
Historical drama spanning more than one hundred years, from its origins at the beginning of the twentieth century to continuing repercussions into the twenty-first. Here is an extract:
‘And the King?’
Churchill was surprisingly defensive.
‘The King did not want his job. He came within a trice of suffering a nervous breakdown when he was given it. He struggled with his stammer in his new role, as a cricketer with a deficient arm. His courage not only won through but also restored the reputation of the monarchy, now held in high affection. He agrees with the peace whispers of his courtiers and certain politicians, some banished by me to the fringes because of their appeasement tendencies. He has to suffer the nagging of family members, in particular his mother and his youngest brother, to whom he has turned more and more, following the abdication and exile of his eldest. But at all times he has resisted their pleas to act, except as exactly within the terms of the constitution, which he interprets with the strictest propriety, unlike his father who interfered beyond its bounds and his elder brother, who as king, ignored it altogether.’
Churchill took a final puff at his cigar before stubbing it in the glass ashtray.
