Author Description

"My Little Blue Dress is the memoir of a sprightly female hundred-something, born on January 1, 1900. It is a life story to stretch the reader's imagination: the tranquillity of rural England at the turn of the century, the excitement of Paris in the 1920s, London during the Great Depression of the 1930s, and the New York arts scene in the 1960s.". "And yet, hmm. For a woman who claims to have lived through the twentieth century, our narrator, from the outset, seems not to know very much about its history. Or, for that matter, about being a woman. All becomes clear as her story unfolds and the author's astonishing secrets are revealed."--BOOK JACKET.
