When Robert Lescher passed on in 2012, an unpublished manuscript of M. F. K. Fisher's was learned neatly packed in one of the literary agent's signature red boxes. Motivated by Fisher's affair with Dillwyn Parrish - who was simply to be her second man - The Theoretical Foot is the master stylist's first novel. In it she describes the life she all too quickly had with the person she'd ever before after explain as the one great love of her life. It tells of a late-summer idyll at the Swiss farmhouse of Tim and Sara, where guests have gathered at ease on the terrace next to the burbling fountain in which baby lettuces are being cleaned, there to enjoy the meals and wine dished up them by this stylish American few. But all around these seemingly lucky people, the forces of darkness are gathering: The year is 1939; World Conflict II approaches. As well as the paradise Tim and Sara have made has been besieged from within as Tim - closely based on Parrish - is about to suffer the first of the circulatory disorders that may cause him to reduce his knee to amputation.
