Book Reviews of My Life in France
Book 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.
Book Review: A visit with Julia - from Amazon to my door.
Summary: 5 Stars
The story of Julia Child's "My Life in France" took me back to the fifties. Very nostalgic especially knowing that Julia is no longer with us. The many black and white photos were such a big part of the feeling you get when you read this book. It made me wish I paid more attention to Julia Child over the years. Paris is now on my short list of places to see or even live.Book Review: My Life in France
Summary: 4 Stars
This isn't just a book about food, it's a love story. Julia's love for her husband, and her love for France, and she does both of them justice. You can feel the emotion, whatever she's writing about!
