About this product

Product Information

This autobiography looks at the fascinating and varied life of Elizabeth Furse. Born in Estonia, part of the Russian Empire, in 1910, to a German mother and a Russian Jewish father Elizabeth fell under the Communist spell, first in Berlin, then in Paris. Under threat of execution by the Nazis, she fled to London. There she became a continuity girl in the film industry and married Peter Haden-Guest. At the outbreak of World War II she drove an ambulance before she and her son, Anthony, were sent to an internment camp. In 1940 she escaped and took up with the French Underground, helping escapees in Marseilles. She was arrested but released in 1941. In post-war London, between 1953 and 1970, she ran The Bistro, a popular restaurant, and today she lives in Belgravia.
