Quicksands, A Memoir

Quicksands, A Memoir

by Sybille Bedford

  • BIOGRAPHY/MEMOIR
  • 2006
  • PAPER
  • 384 PAGES

British novelist Bedford looks back at a long life, well lived, in this lyrical memoir. Born in Germany of an English-Italian mother, this lovely book is, in part, a richly nuanced portrait of Paris, London, Berlin, New York and other far-flung destinations. Bedford zig-zags back and forth between the decades as easily as she shifts from one city to the next.  (GBR587, $14.95)
