Among the most glamorous women of their time, the Jerome sisters entered into well-chosen marriages to British aristocrats, paving the way for many more of these transatlantic unions. Beginning in 1840s America and ending 100 years later in the middle of World War II when the British nation was fighting for survival under the leadership of Jennie Jerome's son, Winston Churchill, this family biography encompasses both the apogee and the twilight of the British Empire. Although full of princely lovers, balls, house parties, and diamond brooches, this story's heart is the intensely supportive and beautifully affectionate relationship between the sisters.
