"my Life in France" is an autobiography written by Julia Child her great nephew, Alex Prudhomme (another famous chef). The book details the great love between Julia and her husband. She and her husband wrote many letters and luckily, a great number of letters were kept by the recipients and given to the writers for this book. Otherwise she could never have remembered all the places they've been and all the wines they drank. Julia is a fascinating and complex character. She is tall and brazen yet self-conscious. She is generous and kind and she thinks the world revolves around her. I was glad when my book club decided to read this book. Almost everyone in the club enjoyed the story. Plus the person who brought the treats decided to keep the story in mind so she brought a french silk pie and a strawberry layer cake from the Truffles and Torts store in Anoka. Oooh, la la.
