Dearie

Dearie
by Bob Spitz
Knopf, 2012. 534 pgs. Nonfiction

This is a delightful biography of a delightful woman, Julia Child. It gives comprehensive coverage of Julia’s entire life, not just her time in France. It particularly focuses the complex and passionate relationship between Julia and Paul. This relationship was the catalyst for Julia’s blossoming into a confident, competent, and creative chef and TV personality.

The book was such a great read. The new information and excerpts from letters really made Julia and Paul real. Julia Child truly is a remarkable person.
