With warmth and candor, she recounts her close relationships with some of the most towering artistic figures of the age, including composer Arnold Bax, with whom she shared a deep and enduring bond, as well as her friendships with luminaries such as George Bernard Shaw and Ramsay MacDonald. The narrative illustrates how Cohen's virtuosity and passionate advocacy for British music earned her an unrivaled place on the concert stage, while her vibrant personality drew her into the intellectual and political salons of interwar Europe. Written in a tone that is both reflective and spirited, the memoir presents an intimate portrait of a woman who refused to be confined by convention, navigating personal triumphs and tragedies — including a serious hand injury that threatened her career — with remarkable resilience. This is an essential read for lovers of musical history, biography, and the rich cultural tapestry of early twentieth-century Britain.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48887927046363,"sku":"2026770000604-SECONDHAND","price":25.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/873e1d9f-37f0-49e0-b2d9-57b7ad89fc64.png?v=1781749664","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026770000604-secondhand-a-bundle-of-time-the-memoirs-of-harriet-cohen","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
