Description

Gathering more than 240 family snapshots with extended selections from her writings, this is a photographic biography of M.F.K. Fisher in image and anecdote: her childhood in a Quaker town in southern California just after the turn of the century; her sensual and intellectual awakening as a young woman in France in the 1930s; the uneven terrain of her adult life as a writer, wife, daughter, parent; and finally the refuge of northern California's wine country, where Fisher spent her last years.
