Who doesn't need to occasionally do as the song says and put your head on the shoulder of someone who's older? Chicagoan Marjorie Price took off for Paris as a young woman in the 1960s, and there met and married a Frenchman—a painter with a volatile disposition who convinced her to purchase a fading farm rather than the seaside cottage of her dreams. As her marriage began to fray, Marjorie found solace in the kitchen of an elderly neighbor who offered real help with the farm, as well as sympathy and wisdom. A Gift from Brittany is the touching true story of an unlikely friendship that transformed the lives of both women.
