I just ordered this from my library and looking forward to reading this. This review is from Publishers Weekly: "Dearie: The Remarkable Life of Julia Child by Bob Spitz (Knopf) - In this affectionate and entertaining tribute to the witty, down-to-earth, bumptious, and passionate host of The French Chef, Spitz (The Beatles) exhaustively chronicles Child’s life and career from her childhood in California through her social butterfly flitting at Smith and her work for a Pasadena department store to her stint in government service, her marriage to Paul Child, and her rise to become America’s food darling with the publication of Mastering the Art of French Cooking and her many television shows. Released to coincide with Child’s centenary, Spitz’s delightful biography succeeds in being as big as its subject." Nance |

Will be happy to report back but it will be awhile before I'll be able to read it. 14 holds on 2 copies. Probably won't get it until October. And I agree Ilene, I feel the same way. But after reading the Bob Spitz Beatles book (which was incredible if you were a fan) I'm looking forward to it. He's a great writer and so comprehensive. Nance |
