Pelican Pages Book Club with Lido Village Books: Kingmaker

October 20 @ 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm Free

Kingmaker: Pamela Harriman’s Astonishing Life of Power, Seduction, and Intrigue by Sonia Purnell

by Susanna Clarke

Pre-order from Lido Village Books

Location: The Great Room

We identified Kingmaker: Pamela Harriman’s Astonishing Life of Power, Seduction, and Intrigue as an ideal first non-fiction selection because of its fascinating subject, Pamela Harriman. The daughter of Winston Churchill, Ms. Harriman established herself as a power player for decades through a shrewd blend of intelligence, charisma, and the unapologetic use of her feminine wiles.  

Description: Initially disregarded as a social climber and courtesan, Sonia Purnell discovered a new perspective on Pamela Harriman after fresh research and interviews reframed her role as an elite power player from her early 20’s during WWII through the modern era. Harriman’s fast-paced life put her in the same orbit as the most influential names in fashion, culture, and politics in the 20th century. 

Join Michelle Pierce, owner of Lido Village Books, for an engaging conversation about this fascinating life.
