In this superb and distinctive memoir, published shortly before her death in February 2006, Sybille Bedford takes us on an epic personal journey from World War I Berlin, via the artists' and writers' bohemia of the Cote d'Azur in the I 920s, to post-World War II London, New York. Paris and Rome. Sybille Bedford's life was that of the freespirited, committed artist: precarious, passionate and frequently impoverished. At the same time, it was a life richly lived: full of danger, fun, lovers, art and writing.

Work Description

Beginning in 1956 with the publication of A Legacy, Sybille Bedford has narrated - in fiction and non-fiction - what has been by turns her sensuous, harrowing, altogether remarkable life. In this magnificent memoir, she moves from Berlin during the Great War to the artists' set on the Cote d'Azur of the 1920s, through lovers, mentors, seducers and friends, and from genteel yet shabby poverty to relative comfort in London's Chelsea. Whether evoking the simple sumptuousness of a home-cooked meal or tracing the heart-rending outline of an intimate betrayal, she offers spellbinding reflections on how history imprints itself on private lives.
