Cloth. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition. First edition hardback some wear to D/J corners A Thread in the Tapestry Sarah Churchill has framed her story within a solemn and melancholy occasion - her father's funeral procession - but as her mind turns back to the past, melancholy lifts. She is remembering not the whole of Sir Winston Churchill's life, nor the whole of her own; rather she is evoking the essence of what it was to be his daughter. Childhood at Chartwell, her father's often enchanting and sometimes formidable ways with his children, the famous people who came to the house, the splendid talk: all this is recalled. Then came the time when Sarah, choosing acting as her career, broke away from the conventions of her background and thus imposed something of a test on the family bond. She tells honestly and simply of her father's wisdom and kindness at this time, and goes on to two occasions when their continuing closeness took her on excursions into history: she accompanied him to both the Teheran and the Yalta Conferences, and gives delightful accounts of what they were like 'back-stage'. But perhaps the most illuminating and moving part of her story is her discription of the holiday she spent with Sir Winston Churchill on Lake Como after his defeat in the General Election of 1945, for which she calls on hitherto unpublished letters. Although Sarah Churchill claims to contribute no more than a 'thread' to the great tapestry of her father's life and her family history, that thread adds colour without which the whole would be incomplete. Many readers will value her book above more formal records. Illustrated with photographs and reproductions of paintings in full colour (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.)
