Description

Lesley Blanch was a true original - an artist to her fingertips, a writer, a traveler, and a talented illustrator. Her life was marked by passion, mystery, and adventure. From a young age, she had a great fascination with Russia, which would later become a lifelong obsession. She also fell deeply in love with the "eternal Slav", Romain Gary, and embarked on a turbulent life of postings from Bulgaria to Los Angeles. After their divorce, she turned her attention to Turkey, Persia, and the Islamic East, traveling widely and accumulating a wealth of experience. This biography, drawn from publishers' archives, unpublished journals, and conversations with those who knew her, offers a richly evocative portrait of a free spirit for whom "character plus opportunity equals fortune".
