Winston & Me is
a book that supports my love of historical fiction. The research Mark Woodburn
undertook is appreciated by readers eager to learn a part of history missed in
their education. I am embarrassed to admit I knew little about Winston
Churchill, but Winston & Me
became my private tutor in the most enjoyable way.
The fictitious character, James Melville, was a fifteen year
old Scottish young man, who told the story of his relationship with Winston
that developed throughout WW1 in Britain, Edinburgh, and France.
I have always felt the best way to learn history is by
reading a well written, captivating, historical novel. Mark Woodburn knocked it
out of the park!
As with all war stories, events are not always pretty. The
reader will experience the horrors of war, yet at the same time, the public and
private life of Winston Churchill.
I recommend Winston
& Me for the history buff along with readers of all ages wanting to
expand their knowledge of WW1 and Winston Churchill.
