Book Reviews of the My Life in France
Customer Review: Inspirational!
Summary: 5 Stars
My Life in France is an exhilarating memoir. Accompanying her husband on his assignment to Paris, Julia Child becomes enamored with French food. The book shows how her new-found passion led the former OSS file clerk to become a renown chef and cookbook author. Along the way, readers meet the family and friends who assisted - and sometimes challenged - her. And we discover her husband Paul, the love of her life and the man behind the scenes.
In many ways, My Life in France is a real-life love story between Julia and Paul and their various artistic talents. It is also a good accompaniment to Malcolm Gladwell's Outliers: The Story of Success, because Julia's story is one of being in the right place at the right time with the right people and working very, very hard.
I loved My Life in France! Alex Prud'homme does an excellent job of making readers feel like they are traveling along on Julia's journey. It is a delightful trip and one I encourage you to take.
