Seems to be set in the Great Gatsby era. Personal journal format. The two women Georgette LeBlanc and Margaret Anderson were a subset to the Hemingway, Gertrude Stein, Sherwood Anderson, Fitzgerald, writers lost generation(?) in France and the countryside until Georgette gets cancer (lymphoma) and they stay in the French countryside until WWII is over. Not great literature, more a personal journal.

Margaret Anderson holds a strange attraction for me. She is NOTHING like me. I probably would find little that we have in common, "externally" but her life is a source of endless fascination for me. The book is the second in a trilogy that begins with My Seven Years War to The Strange Neccessity. The editor of the Little Review with Jane Heap Anderson loved art, and was a bold lesbian in a time when women stood little chance 100 years ago. This volume deals with her work with GI Gurdjieff.

This is the second part of Margaret Anderson's three-part autobiography. In the span of years covered here, Anderson and Jane Heap part company, and Anderson takes up company with Georgette LeBlanc. Although surface events calm down for Anderson somewhat, she retains her merciless self-reflection and questioning which make her such an insightful read.
