A remarkable work of memoir and biography, An Impossible Woman: The Memories of Dottoressa Moor of Capri chronicles the extraordinary life of Elisabeth Moor, an eccentric and fiercely independent woman who made the sun-drenched island of Capri her home. Edited and with an epilogue by the celebrated novelist Graham Greene, the book presents Dottoressa Moor's candid recollections of a life lived on her own terms, populated by artists, intellectuals, and the colourful expatriate community of mid-twentieth-century Capri. Greene's editorial hand brings warmth and precision to her reminiscences, illuminating a portrait of a woman whose force of personality left an indelible mark on all who knew her. The tone is intimate yet wry, capturing both the beauty of island life and the inimitable spirit of a woman who refused to be ordinary.
