Product Description
With Bliss, Remembered, the celebrated Frank Deford has produced a work of literature which ranks with the best of his many novels, including Everybody’s All American which Sports Illustrated ranked as one of the twenty-five best sports books of all time.
At the 1936 Berlin Olympics Sydney begins an intense love affair with a German, but the affair abruptly ends when political forces tear them apart. Back in the US, Sydney is left healing her broken heart when a striking American begins to pursue her.
Sydney is daring, vulnerable, and memorable. With her the reader longs for an earlier time with its greater simplicity and honesty, when promises seemed to be forever but choices so dire in the enveloping shadows of a changing world.
