Quicksands by Sybille Bedford
Beginning in 1956 with the publication of A Legacy, Sybille Bedford has narrated - in fiction and non-fiction - what has been by turns her sensuous, harrowing, altogether remarkable life. In this magnificent memoir, she takes readers from the Berlin of World War 1, to the artists' set on the Côte d'Azur of the 1920s, through friends, lovers, mentors and family, to a relatively settled life in London's Chelsea. Whether evoking the everyday pleasures of life amongst friends or tracing the heartrending outline of an intimate betrayal, she offers spellbinding reflections on how history imprints itself on private lives.
Sybille Bedford was born in Germany in 1911, and was brought up in Italy, England and France. In 1989 her novel JIGSAW was shortlisted for the Booker Prize. She has published eight other books and lives in London.
