"An absorbing portrait of an unexpected friendship." --
"Entertainment Weekly"
"Julia's inimitable voice shines through . . . These letters offer
a] glimpse of how the truly great can merge heart and soul in the
pursuit of excellence." -- "Wall Street Journal"
Julia is known around the world by her first name alone. But how
much do we really know of the inner Julia Child? Through this
riveting correspondence between Julia and Avis DeVoto, her "pen
pal" and literary mentor, we hear Julia's deepest thoughts and
feelings and witness the blossoming of a unique and lifelong
friendship. We see, too, the turbulent creation of one of the most
influential cookbooks ever written. Frank, bawdy, funny, exuberant,
these astonishing letters show an America on the verge of
political, social, and gastronomic transformation and two women
deeply engaged in the making of that new world.
" Child] comes booming back to life in these dishy missives . . . A
delicious read." -- "People "(31/2 of 4 stars)
"Blazingly alive and entirely irresistible." -- "Boston
Globe"
