Description

'The Living Present' is a non-fiction text by Atherton about her stay in France during which she became deeply acquainted with its people, customs, and traditions.

The book reads like a study of French life at the time - replete with vibrancy, cultural peculiarities and sheer spirit.

Atherton was greatly influenced by and enamoured with French culture, and this led in turn to this epistolary ode in honour of France and the French people.Her feminist side is also at play, with Atherton paying close attention to the lives and mores of French women of the day all throughout the course of the book.A highly recommended reading to fans of Gertrude Atherton and Francophiles. 'The Living Present' and its photographic & deeply reflective musings, especially in relation to what it means to be a woman in the modern era, may bring to mind the writing style of Virginia Woolf and Susan Sontag.-
