Food, travel, characters you don't see much anymore, and good writing . . . everything I need.

The only reason I finished the book was that I had read so many positive comments about the great MFK Fisher that I kept expecting it to improve. Which never happened.

    <body><![CDATA[As a young woman, Fisher lived in Dijon from 1929-1932; this short memoir recounts her time there.  She writes candidly, sketching the place, the food, and both good and bad personality traits of those she met (herself included).  Remarkable sketches they are, too: brief, telling, and drawn in a few...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/17397773">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Fisher writes beautifully, but this is my least favorite book by her I've read so far. The memoir, written in her 70s or 80s, feels far removed from the time she's trying to memorialize. The discussions on things like apperitifs and caviar, normally so fresh, seemed classist and stale this time arou...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/17553195">more...</a>]]></body>
