Description:
<p><strong>A recently discovered gem from the bestselling author of <i>Somewhere Towards the End</i>, <i>A Florence Diary</i> is the charming and vivacious account of Athill’s travels to post-war Florence.</strong></p><p>In August 1947, Diana Athill travelled to Florence by the Golden Arrow train for a two-week holiday with her cousin Pen. In this playful diary of that trip, delightfully illustrated with photographs of the period, Athill recorded her observations and adventures — eating with (and paid for by) the hopeful men they meet on their travels, admiring architectural sights, sampling delicious pastries, eking out their budget, and getting into scrapes.</p><p>Written with an arresting immediacy and infused with an exhilarating joie de vivre, <i>A Florence Diary </i>is a bright, colourful evocation of a time long lost and a vibrant portrait of a city that will be deliciously familiar to any contemporary traveller.</p>
