by Alex Prud’homme Knopf, 2016. 318 pgs. Nonfiction
This is a follow-up of My Life in France written by Julia’s nephew and collaborator Alex Prud’homme. It focuses specifically on Julia’s work in America. It discusses her groundbreaking television program, the many cookbooks she wrote, and her documentaries. By this point in her life, Paul had become confused and surly. He never really recovered from a surgery he had. Though Paul was prickly with other people, he was Julia’s partner in everything. It’s amazing to see how Julia juggled her career and her marriage. The biography reads like a narrative and was so hard to put down.
