Sinopse

In the annals of history, few love stories have captured the imagination quite like that of Winston Churchill and Clementine Hozier. This captivating book delves into their extraordinary journey, spanning over half a century, revealing the intimate details of their courtship, marriage, and shared experiences that shaped British history.

Through their extensive correspondence, personal accounts, and historical records, we witness the evolution of their bond amidst the tumultuous events of the 20th century. From their initial encounter in 1908, their love story unfolds against a backdrop of societal change, political upheaval, and global conflict.

Winston, a rising star in British politics, was smitten by Clementine's intelligence, wit, and independent spirit. Clementine, in turn, was drawn to Winston's charisma, determination, and unwavering belief in his country. Despite initial hesitations and societal expectations, they defied conventions and embarked on a passionate romance.

Their love story is not merely a tale of personal devotion; it is a testament to the transformative power of love and partnership in the face of adversity. As Winston's political career took center stage, Clementine served as his unwavering confidante and advisor. Together, they navigated the treacherous waters of British politics, facing both triumphs and setbacks.

The outbreak of World War II tested their bond like never before. Winston's appointment as Prime Minister thrust him into the heart of the conflict, while Clementine took on a vital role on the home front. Their letters during this time reveal their shared fears, hopes, and unwavering belief in ultimate victory.

Beyond the public eye, their love story extended into the realm of their private lives. They raised a family, shared moments of joy and sorrow, and faced personal trials and tribulations. Through it all, their love remained a guiding light, illuminating their path and inspiring those around them.

This book is not just a biography of two extraordinary individuals; it is a celebration of love, resilience, and the enduring human spirit. It is a story that will resonate with readers long after they finish the last page.

    Sad Tiger is built on the facts of a series of devastating events. Neige Sinno was seven years old when her stepfather started sexually abusing her. At nineteen, she decided to break the silence that is so common in all cultures around sexual violence. This led to a public trial and prison for her stepfather and Sinno started a new life in Mexico. 
     
     
     
    Through the construction of a fragmented narrative, Sinno explores the different facets of memory—her own, her mother's, as well as her abusive stepfather's; and of abuse itself in all its monstrosity and banality. Her account is woven together with a close reading of literary works by Vladimir Nabokov, Virginia Woolf, Toni Morrison, Christine Angot, and Virginie Despentes among others. 
     
     
     
    Sad Tiger—the title inspired by William Blake's poem "The Tyger"—is a literary exploration into how to speak about the unspeakable. In this extraordinary book there is an abiding concern: how to protect others from what the author herself endured? In the midst of so much darkness, an answer reads crystal clear: by speaking up and asking questions. A striking, shocking, and necessary masterpiece. 
     
     
     
    Contains mature themes.

    NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER 
    ""[A] scorching treatise on toxic masculinity. Joseph’s critiques of “the patriarchy... both overt and ingrained” are razor-sharp, but it’s the clear-eyed reckoning of his own place within it that tethers the soul of his book."" —Publishers Weekly 
    ""Joseph has learned a great deal from bell hooks here, and I think she would be proud because Patriarchy Blues is such a moving, inspiring, rigorous vision for living.” —Robert Jones, Jr., New York Times bestselling author of The Prophets 
    In this personal and poignant collection, the author of the New York Times bestseller The Black Friend examines the culture of masculinity through the lens of a Black man.  
    What does it mean to be a man today? How does the pervasive yet elusive idea of “toxic masculinity” actually reflect men’s experiences—particularly those of color—and how they navigate the world? 
    In this thought-provoking collection of essays, poems, and short reflections, Frederick Joseph contemplates these questions and more as he explores issues of masculinity and patriarchy from both a personal and cultural standpoint. From fatherhood, and “manning up” to abuse and therapy, he fearlessly and thoughtfully tackles the complex realities of men’s lives today and their significance for society, lending his insights as a Black man. 
    Written in Joseph’s unique voice, with an intelligence and raw honesty that demonstrates both his vulnerability and compassion, Patriarchy Blues forces us to consider the joys, pains, and destructive nature of manhood and the stereotypes it engenders.
