A Favourite of the Gods and A Compass Error A Legacy A Visit to Don Otavio: A Mexican Journey Jigsaw About this book The story of two generations of a single family, united by a strong matrilineal bond but divided by the customs of their differing nationalities. This is the tale of two very different families—the Merzes and the Feldens—whose fortunes become fatally entwined by the marriage of their children. In the mid-1940s, Bedford set off from Grand Central Station for Mexico, accompanied by her friend E., a hamper of food and drink, books, a writing board, and paper. Her resulting travelogue captures the violent beauty of the country she visited. Bordering fiction and biography, this book tells the story of a young woman who will one day be a writer, growing up in the 1920s in a world at one moment bright with grace and pleasure, at the next bewildering and dark.
