She was twenty-two years old, and would spend the next year moving among the ruins of London, Warsaw, Paris, Prague, Madrid, and other cities as a stringer for a small British news service." "In this memoir, Fox describes her movements across Europe's scrambled borders: unplanned trips to empty castles and ruined cathedrals; a stint in bombed-out Warsaw in the midst of the Communist election takeovers; nights spent in apartments here and there with distant relatives or friends of friends, and in shabby pensions with little heat, each place echoing with the horrors of the war. A young woman alone, with neither a plan nor a reliable paycheck, Fox made her way with the rest of Europe as the continent rebuilt and rediscovered itself among the ruins." "Long revered as a novelist, Fox won over a new generation of readers with Borrowed Finery, the acclaimed memoir of her childhood. Now, with The Coldest Winter, she recounts another chapter of a life seemingly filled with stories - a rare, unsentimental glimpse of the world as seen by a writer at the beginning of an illustrious career."--BOOK JACKET.
