When I Was Alive: in the Fullness of Time Edith Hartnett

Recollections of a long, adventurous life by the author of the novel "The Color of Wine" and the poetry collection "Breath on The Water." As she approaches ninety, Edith Hartnett hearkens back to a time when San Francisco was easygoing, leisurely - a city of safe streets filled with friendly and unhurried people. This personal memoir begins with her unusual upbringing when life appeared thoroughly good and predictable. It continues through years of career, marriage and travel in a world growing evermore high-tech and unpredictable.
