Lilla Eckford, interned in a Japanese civilian camp in China during the second world war after an extraordinary early life,passed her time by compiling a book about the joys of food.Thisprecious cookery book, now in the possession of the ImperialWarMuseum, inspired Lilla's great-granddaughter, Frances Osborne, to investigate her enthralling story.
Lilla's Feast spans the world from China to India and finally to England over a hundred years, and blends together personal history, world events, period atmosphere and family anecdotes into a brilliantly vibrant and poignant story.

8vo. pp. 399, [i]. 8pp. illustrations, some coloured. Further illustrations, a plan and a map in the text. Paperback. Handwritten signed letter loosely inserted written on headed notepaper from George Osborne MP, The House of Commons, London SW1A 0AA to Andrew [Marr], consisting of about 150 words in which Osborne approaches the presenter of 'Start the Week' and 'Sunday AM' about his wife's book 'Lilla's Feast'. He says 'it is a fascinating and well-received account of the life of her great-grandmother in a Chinese Treaty Port, her unhappy marriage and her imprisonment by the Japanese - where, starving, she wrote a recipe book which is now on display in the Imperial War Museum.' He wonders whether Marr might be interested in having her on either of the two programmes he presents. Very good. ISBN 0552771880 Very good. Artikel-Nr. C40691
