Jennie Churchill: Winston's American Mother was reviewed, inter alia, in The Independent, The Daily Telegraph, and The Scotsman. According to The Daily Telegraph, Sebba's book retrieved 'Jennie Churchill in sparkling three dimensions and does much to put flesh on the bones of a subject who has been reduced to a cipher for American Brashness.' The Literary Review said the book was 'sharp and intelligent... immensely enjoyable. Sebba's prose is as smooth and elegant as expensive cashmere; it reads like a novel.'
