The Lightning in the Sun by Cevitri Devi

Cevitri Devi was convinced all her life that Hitler would return, either in a new incarnation or after revealing he had somehow survived the war and lead a resurgent Naziism to global victory. She retired in 1970, living for a time at the home of her friend, Francois Dior in England. Cevitri Devi refused to bathe ever and chewing on garlic constantly.
