Subject: My Life In France by Julia Child

Has anyone else read this one? The Julia parts of the movie" Julie and Julia" were based on this memoir. I loved Meryl Streep and Stanley Tucci so much as Julia and Paul Child that I went right out and bought the book to learn more about how "Mastering the Art of French Cooking" came to be written, and about her life! What a wonderful woman she must have been to have as a friend --and not just for dinner party invites! (After reading the Rosamond Pinchot story by RP's granddaughter --see my post below-- I frankly needed cheering up! Good book, but really tragic!) Julia Child was just the ticket. Her nephew, Alex Prud'homme, does a beautiful job of pulling it all together, as JC died peacefully in her sleep in 2004, just before they completed the book. A big 92nd birthday feast was in the works and JC passed on just 2 days before the Big Day. So, all her surviving friends came and they had a wake for her --she probably planned it that way.
