Sonia Purnell – Kingmaker – The George Millar Literary Dinner

We are delighted to welcome biographer and journalist, Sonia Purnell, to this year’s dinner. Her biography of Virginia Hall: A Woman of No Importance – WWII’s Most Dangerous Spy and her biography of First Lady: The Life and Wars of Clementine Churchill and her first book: Just Boris: A Tale of Blond Ambition have all been bestsellers. Her latest sensational biography of Pamela Churchill Harriman – one of the most important and influential woman of 20th century politics, is undoubtedly her most engaging and Thursday 7th Nov revealing. Born Pamela Digby, a British socialite, Sonia reclaims in Kingmaker her legacy which has mostly been dismissed as secondary to the men that she was involved with. A life of intrigue, scandal, glamour and involvement with some of the biggest names in the second half of the twentieth century has now exposed her as one of the most powerful confidantes in international politics.
