Eve Best succeeds in captivating the listener with this story that evokes a fascinating glimpse into Lilla's life, set amidst bygone culture & world events. It also provokes reflection on the morality of & the spin given to past & current political action.
lilla's feast - By: , 13 Jan 2005
this book is a wonderfully personal insight into the life of an ordinary lady over the past century. she, like alll of us just living life, can experience so much by opening our eyes to the most simple things around us. Basic things we do to live can provide such joy if we chose it to - just as Lilla did. the joy of food & its creations took her through the most painful things that any human might be expected to live through. the author is the grandaughter of lilla & there are pictures of Lilla at alll stages in her life in China, India & the UK at her 100th birthday. this book shows the integrity of her generation that i hope will prevail. such a beautiful book - history as it should be delivered - in a personal & honest way. this book has been an inpsiration to me - opened my eyes to the lives of the 'ordinary' people around me. thanks to the author for writing it.
