An absorbing portrait of an unexpected friendship.
-Entertainment Weekly The spirit of the indomitable Julia Child
lives on in Joan Reardon's AS ALWAYS, JULIA, a saucy soup-to-nuts
compilation of the correspondence between Child and lifelong friend
Avis DeVoto. As Julia said, 'Life itself is the proper binge.'
Let's live it up!
- Elissa Schappell, Vanity Fair, Dec. issueThe women's frank,
tender letters are an absolute delight to read, as much for their
mouthwatering discussion of cuisine as for the palpable fondness
they portray for one another. In an early note, DeVoto calls
Child's evolving manuscript as exciting as a novel to read, and,
indeed, so are their conversations.
-Booklist, starred review
This epistolary testament to a close friendship will surely appeal
to Child fans.
- Kirkus ReviewsWitty, enlightening and entertaining, these letters
serve as a compelling companion volume to Mastering the Art of
French Cooking.
