Another book review to point you to in Shiny New Books! This one is by an author I’d love to know more about – Sybille Bedford. She seems so fascinating. I loved her novel A Favourite of the Gods, and so I took Daunt Books up on their offer of her collected travel writing, Pleasures and Landscapes (2003, although collected from mostly 1950s and 1960s articles).
I usually don’t like travel writing, so I was nervous, but I really liked the way Bedford writes – and the unusual (often food-orientated) take she has on the world. If that’s tickled your fancy, you can read the whole review on Shiny New Books…
I love food oriented books! And the cover of this is just so arresting – I will pop over to the full review.
If you like food oriented books you'll LOVE this!
I loved this too – it was quite unexpected in many ways!
I don't even know what I expected, but it definitely wasn't this. :)
