Description: 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.
