Quicksands. A Memoir, Paperback/Sybille Bedford

Showing how history imprints itself on private lives, this memoir presents the author's sensuous, harrowing, and altogether remarkable life. It moves from Berlin during the Great War to the artists' set on the Cote d'Azur, through lovers, mentors, seducers and friends, and from genteel yet shabby poverty to relative comfort in London's Chelsea.
