5.0 out of 5 stars Such an enjoyable read, 7 Dec 2010

Emma - See all my reviews

This review is from: Zigzag: Flashbacks of a Painter (Kindle Edition)

I was lucky to read Gym's book fresh from the printer and I so enjoyed zigzagging with her, and following her adventures. Hopping from 60's London to the Bolshoi or a recent Cannes Festival, where she worked as a set decorator.
There is a wonderful zest for life in her stories and I shut my book, feeling both happy and a bit nostalgic for wanting to read more
