Interview: Marjorie Price, author of A Gift From Brittany: A Memoir of Love and Loss in the French Countryside

It’s not often that I meet another woman named Marjorie, but oddly enough, many of the Marjories I have met–or have known–have been writers. And my mother tells me that she named me after the author of a book she was reading at the time she was pregnant with me. Now, the book was actually a Lamaze instruction book, but I choose to ignore that part and hold fast to the belief that my destiny as a writer was set in stone when she lifted my name from the cover of a book.

But I digress…

You will love A Gift from Brittany: A Memoir of Love and Loss in the French Countryside, by artist and writer Marjorie Price. If you are a writer, an artist, a photographer, or any other creative woman struggling to reconcile a passion for art with the demands of modern life, you need this book. Even if you are none of these things and are simply a Francophile with a love of books about France and the women expats who are transformed by their life in it, you want this book.

I’ll have a fuller review of the book shortly, plus a giveaway to a lucky winner, but in the meantime, click here to listen to my interview with Ms. Price. And please do leave a comment if you like the podcast!
