Originally published in 1970, Among Friends provides a fascinating
glimpse into the background and development of one of our most
delightful and best-loved writers, Mary Frances Kennedy Fisher -
the woman who elevated food writing to a literary art. In Among
Friends M. F. K. Fisher begins her recollections in Albion,
Michigan, but they soon lead her to Whittier, California, where her
family moved in 1912, when she was four. The "Friends" of the title
range from the hobos who could count on food at the family's back
door to the businessmen who advertised in Father's paper-but above
all they are the Quakers who were the prominent group in Whittier.
Mary Frances Kennedy found them unusual friends indeed: in the more
than forty years that she lived in Whittier she was never invited
inside a Friend's house. Her portraits of her father, Rex-her
mentor, himself the editor of the local newspaper-her mother,
Edith, and the other members of her family are memorable and
moving.
