Crazy Librarian’s Reviews > Fasting and Feasting: The Life of Visionary Food Writer Patience Gray > Status Update

Slow,detailed read but gives great insight into the challenges two ex pats faced in seeking 'the simple life'.

The name dropping others talk about sets the stage for Patience Grey’s departure from upperclass British norms & into intellectual life & finally a bohemia of sorts.
The people around Grey are mentioned as a means of conveying her personality & responses to the events around her. Grey remains a secretive person, with little known about who she really is except through her letters, her work, and those in her life.
