Drink Time!: In the Company of Patrick Leigh Fermor: a Memoir

Dolores Payas has written a delightful and moving account of colourful adventurer, Patrick Leigh Fermor, a snapshot account of his final years surrounded by his drinks, his guests, and above all, his books. This short book conveys a portrait of a man who โ€became indomitable, proud and charming in old age, while retaining his other attributesโ€. An original and witty study in nostalgia, mixed with personal fortitude, right up until the end.
