With Bliss, Remembered, the celebrated Frank Deford has
produced a work of literature that ranks with the best of
his many novels, including Everybody's All American, which
Sports Illustrated ranked as one of the twenty-five best
sports books of all time. In Bliss, Remembered, Deford
explores new territory as he tells two love stories from the
perspective of a beautiful should-have-been Olympic champion
named Sydney Stringfellow. At the 1936 Berlin Olympics, Sydney begins an intense love
affair with a German, but the affair abruptly ends when
political forces tear them apart. Back in the U.S.,
Sydney--daring, vulnerable, and memorable--is left healing
her broken heart when a striking American begins to pursue
her. In Deford's tender novel, the simplicity and honesty of
choices of the heart clash with a brutal time--a time when
choices seemed so dire in the enveloping shadows of a
changing world.
