Lesley Blanch (1904-2007) was born in London and attended St. Paul's Girls' School, Hammersmith, and later studied painting at the Slade School of Fine Art. She designed costumes and scenes for theater and book jackets for T.S. Eliot at Faber, painted wall panels and murals in private homes, drew satirical portraits of society figures, and in 1933 created a poster for the London Underground. From 1937-1944, she was a features editor at Vogue, where she worked with photographer Lee Miller to document the lives of women in the British forces during the war. Blanch was married to Robert Alan Wimberley Bicknell from 1930 to 1941, then married to French novelist and diplomat Romain Gary from 1945 to 1962. In 1954, she published her best known work, The Wilder Shores of Love, and went on to write several other books, including cookbooks and a memoir, before the end of her life at age 102.
"If you are interested in Russia--if you are interested in love--this haunting book is one to read and re-read."
