Friday Food Writers: Patience Gray and Primrose Boyd
One of our Thanksgiving dinner guests brought me the most wonderful gift–two gorgeous reprints put out by an amazing press I hadn't heard of before, Persephone Books in London. According to them, their goal is to publish "forgotten fiction and non-fiction by unjustly neglected authors." Amen to that. The first of the two books I was given are They Can't Ration These by the Vicomte de

“You don’t make a female character strong by playing her opposite a buffoon. You just make her strong . .”

Its sale price was $1.25, and it was resplendent with a sailor on the cover waving a brightly colored American flag that was three times his size.”

“We learned from her how to think for ourselves, how to jump eagerly into adventure and then get out of the scrapes it inevitably involves, how to get to the truth, and, perhaps most importantly, how to spin into action when things are not right.”
