The Theoretical Foot

In 2012, an unpublished manuscript by acclaimed writer M. F. K. Fisher, titled The Theoretical Foot, was found among the belongings of literary agent Robert Lescher. Set in a picturesque Swiss farmhouse during the summer of 1939, the novel explores the idyllic yet fragile lives of Tim and Sara, who host guests amidst the looming threat of World War II. As the story unfolds, it delves into the complexities of love and loss, particularly through Tim's struggles with his health that will ultimately alter the course of his life.
